Cromer Pier, at the turn of the tide: 8th May 2018
Down to the shore I went, to find some pressable pieces.
A frond of seaweed that looked like a mat.
a short frayed length of plastic tat,
and a paper bag, with sand pressed in its creases.
Back in the studio with a length of card added
which was purposely multiple random hole splattered,
my imagination now churned and chundered:
what pleasing picture might I conjure?
Items displayed, I began the process:
Cut to size, cow-gum applied and dried,
Ink mixed and spread, card to print-guide.
Beneath the Pier: despite the stress, new off the press,
a seascape print, my graphic’s tutor to impress.

Impress, in 104 words
Wonderfully done!

Nice! I have a large lake, “Ontario” with beaches, boardwalks and leafy paths to explore, right on the southern edge of my City. You’re writing is inspiring me to explore those beauties, that as a child I used to adore. There are also 3 islands a short ride across the lake I think I should revisit. Could be a busy Summer 😊 Thank you for reminding me.

You should get out there, walk amongst the flowers and the trees, listen to the birds, feel the breeze. This Earth is our home. We have no other. So embrace it.

It’s also true. The restriction of words meant I skipped some parts, but the essence was there. 🙂
