Amsterdam canal

the boat’s rickety prow graced

by a heron

 

a heron’s grace

the fisherman’s nod, a smile

for tourists he sails by

Blake

I was born in Wensleydale, England, and studied Privilege at Cambridge University. I am the author of a dark fantasy novel called Feline Alchemy. I live in Milton Keynes with two cats and am the reigning British MouseBall champion. Ambitions - 1) Take ownership of this messed-up world. 2) Resurrect the Fearless Defenders. Hobbies - I like that thing where twenty-two cretins kick a bit of dead cow around a patch of grass.
