The exciting future,
Era of liners:
Three cheers for art deco
Photo taken in High Street Kensington, London (UK)

Feathers fluttering.
Our heads below:
Welcome to Kensington Gardens!

Arch-es of brickwork,
Tracks beneath and air above:
London’s old Circle Line
Bayswater station

Lamps, articulat-ed,
Shine variously
On diverse writers’ desks
Photo taken at Design Museum in Kensington, London

Dollar to Dirham,
Rupee to Rand,
From my pocket to another

Stone vessels stand ornamentally
Beside a pool:
Call them urns, please
Photo taken in London near Lancaster Gate at the northern end of the Serpentine Lake

A branching shadow
On a grassy green patch:
A tall tree stands nearby
Kensington Gardens on a warm spring afternoon, the first proper sunshine for quite a few days

While eating our dinner one tropical evening in a lovely restaurant in Fort Cochin (Kerala, India), I looked up and noticed that high up on the wall overlooking us there was another diner, definitely not a vegetarian.
Clinging to the wall
An insect in its jaws:
A gecko stares at me

Neglected and lost,
Once essenti-al:
Now a disused water pump
