February blew
long low tide on the concrete
constructed April

April Tides
Melinda J. Irvine is an Australian writer, poet, and blogger living between the Philippines and Australia.

All the money she earns as a freelance writer and author get her one step closer to legally adopting Jerry — plus helping the other kids from his village go to school.
Love the photos and the choice of words. <3 <3 Glad we had an April , all things considered.
Thanks Steve, the black and white photos cover the still lingering 9,000 litres of bunker fuel and oil dumped onto that shoreline in late 2013. Thank you the most for noticing the carefully structured word choice, it means a lot you visiting my blog every Saturday (and I do apologise for not stopping by ‘inconstant light’ for a roast chicken smoothie in ages).
Very welcome, Melinda, all good, and I don’t think there are many leap months. Inconstant’s the usual apart from the on-line smoothie store. All fresh because I dress the chickens in casual outfits and send them in economy. A bit more preparation time at the destination, and admittedly none of my customers have managed to catch them so far.
pleased to hear your are doing your bit for world health, keeping everyone fit chasing their lunch. m.
PS: i am also glad we had an April, hopefully we’ll have another one.
