Sail on Dusk Colour River, Late Spring

Posted on February 4, 2012 by skyraftwanderer

Dusk colour gorge sheathed in emerald blankets, rising into sheer cliffs of auburn cinnabar, all underpinned by the fathomless flow of azure clarity. Snowy Egrets nest in pine top heights clear of dust. On white sand shores gibbons howl towards … Continue reading →

Posted on January 28, 2012 by skyraftwanderer

Recluse (River) (Poems)

Posted on January 8, 2012 by skyraftwanderer

Autumn flares out, its flame burst clouds strewn about misted cliff sides, loam whites of winter taking their place. A stiff willow breeze, ten thousand things withdrawn to burrows and immortal pine heights. First snows stream down, duckweed carpets of … Continue reading →

Posted on April 2, 2011 by skyraftwanderer

The sight of Skilpadde in a city is gloriously surreal. In the vast concrete jungle of glass, steel and girders the residents of the metropolis see a colossal turtle rounding a street corner. Firstly its head pokes out past a … Continue reading →
