Hullo #fragmentsfriday @blackboughpoems Thanks to @MatthewMCSmith for being the inventor of this poetic gizmo!
Last Night, 2:10am, In Sleepy Suburbia A motorbike unzipped the night, an unwelcome streak of flapping-cockerel; mature enough to throttle-back my own persistent tut-tut-tut… Julian Cason

This week’s #FragmentsFriday, inspired by wild Cornish waves and the spectacle of the sea at dawn. Thank you to @blackboughpoems and @MatthewMCSmith, and to special guest host @helen_laycock 🙏
Cape Cornwall Calling All the white horses gather to race before dawn empties— foam-flanked, spray-manes flaring, thundering through valerian, sea-shale silver.
