Worth a thousand words,
A mere image
Can express so much so quickly
A picture is worth a thousand words

Climate change
High above the clouds
A climate protester flies,
Changing the climate
This was inspired by an article in the Daily Mail newspaper (see: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6938095/Dame-Emma-jets-5-400-miles-green-is.html), which reported:
“Emma Thompson arrived at Marble Arch yesterday afternoon to support climate change protesters and urged others to join their numbers.
What she might not have mentioned to them is that she had just flown back to Heathrow Airport from Los Angeles the day before.”
A carved Crusader
A life no longer,
Remember’d in timber:
Farewell, Crusader knight
14th century wooden effigy in church at Paulerspury in Northamptonshire, England
For more information about this rare mediaeval carving, see: History of Paulerspury
website from which this information was extracted:
“Under the arcade between the chancel and the north chapel, on a freestone tomb panelled with cusped ogee blind tracery enclosing shields, are wooden effigies of a lady (c. 1340) and an armoured man (c. 1346-9), now placed side by side but not necessarily originally associated with each other. The male figure may represent Sir Robert de Paveley. The monument was restored by Frederick H. Crossley of Chester in 1920, following a report on its condition by the S.P.A.B. in 1915“

Spring sunlight
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
