Head held high with pride,
Hooves pounding the white sand,
Heart beating steadily.

Anya Farquharson

DAYDREAMS.

Mysterious thoughts,
Clouds of air that sweep and glide,
Bursting through my mind.

Josephine Harrison.

RIVER

Weaving down its course,
Through the valley to the sea,
Where it meets its end

FOOTBALL

Slowly curled drifting,
Corner gaped openly wide,
Celebrations start.

VOLCANO

Rumbling deep down,
Mighty lava explosion,
Runs down mountain side.

TANKA TEEING OFF

Took a settled stance,
the deliberate backswing,
building speed in swing,
drilled then skimming through lush grass,
wandering towards the ball.

DARKNESS

Everything is black,
Absolutely everywhere,
Nothing can be seen, Frightened,
who is there with me?
Got to get out of this place.

TIM NICHOLSON & JAMES MARTIN.

DAY DREAMS.

Swirling colours of joy
hours of entertainment until
ARE YOU LISTENING?

HORSES

Full of elagance
breath catching the frosted air
hoofs clipping the floor.

TANKA THE SWAN

The swan beautiful
elagance at its greatest
wings feathered and strong
pure white plumage just like snow
it's the leader of all birds.
