First of all, many thanks to Sean, Winston Julian and others for all of the work they put into the excellent Mankinholes weekend. Thank you also to Joy for her great kindness in giving me a lift on my way home. It is almost certain that I should be apologising to all those I have offended although I can't remember. I will simply hope that as I have forgotten it they may also.

Anyway, here is one of the renga products:

 

The kingfisher reflected on its position.

A chub is contented with calm water.

Sunbathing is incompatible with water lilies.

A chubby king is dethroned.

The blind don't suffer from seasickness,

the motion of the earth and waves are the same.

Inner mists reduce visibility behind my sunglasses

screen wipers on and wind down the windows.

It's all very well pouring outside

but when you can't turn the shower off.......

Or the company on

Time to reflect

Contemplate, take stock

and move on or off

and let the hills infuse in your brain

as you let the train take the strain.
