The Ravine
imagination
down the Ravine
up Cart Score
Cart Score
Gallow’s Score
catkins swing
back and forth
Lighthouse Score
a full moon
climbs the steps
silent movie
Arnold’s Walk
sycamore slope
the gentle drumming
of a woodpecker
Mariner’s Score
Cromwell’s legacy
worn out trainers
and a high arch
Crown Score
crab platoon
among the cobbles
of Lion Score
Martin’s Score
open air sermon
only pigeons
listening
Rant Score
lamp post
the spectral hound
cocks its leg
Wilde’s Score
narrow alley
the wind turbine
a tight fit
Maltster’s Score
tunnel vision
silver skeletons
a ray of light
Spurgeon Score
calm horizon
crinkle crankle waves
line the alley
Herring Fishery Score
beyond
a grey spire
the North Sea
Frost’s Alley Score
prehistoric path
extinction by order
of the law
The Score
vicarage garden
no faith in the flood
or the track
