Shadows of dogs
Reflections of logs
In the pools on the sand
Shells coloured in bands
Rigs and brine
Twigs and twine
Float over the sea
Their ripples spread closer to me
by Ian Homewood
It was inspiring to listen to Ian read his poem out in the workshop, and hear how it came into being. It started as a list, then rhythm and rhyme emerged. It's a great example of how poetry doesn't come by thinking about it. Let words get onto the paper and see what happens!
