Melbourne, Australia REVELATA CELESTIA I remember lying on a hillock as a small boy with some friends, watching the sky up above… We are having a competition – who would be the first to guess which object each passing cloud resembles most closely. There goes a giraffe, followed quickly by an elephant and a dog; […]

Newcastle Upon Tyne, UK NIGHT OR DAY?! In the far north of Sweden, A “Land of the Midnight Sun,” A strange thing chanced upon me – And I’ll tell you, just for fun. Got off a train late-morning (Had to catch same one next day) And trudged far to the Youth Hostel – Paying for […]

Within its cavernous body eruptions of sound echo loudly, mimicking a newborn announcing […]

From Rosemary Dunn
Clouds Such clouds there are today, such haughty clouds! Look! Follow their guiltless majesty crowns glinting like steel crucibles in gothic caverns fire sharpest of shadows shade upon shade of monstrous pustulous bubbles oozing from invisible thermals in turbulent air Looking like mountains these flocculent parodies are thrown high to the far backstage of a […]
