Kind mentor passes –
As wise as the oldest hills ~
Still learning from him.
[For C. Barry Long, RIP]

Television on –
Dinosaur finds in the news ~
Find myself smiling.
All the animals –
Infinite variety ~
Tiny fraction known.
Looking at a rock –
One cannot just think ‘a rock’ ~
Geology brain.
For Prof. George Sevastopulo, RIP.
Waves on a Wednesday-
I sit on a pile of rocks ~
Made in older seas.
Carry on woodlouse –
As you have long before us ~
And will after us.
Rocks are making rocks –
On the beach, in the river ~
Deep beneath your feet.
We are all shut down –
Nagging feeling about this ~
Nature is smiling.
Devonian stream –
Fish choc a bloc, tail to head ~
Ack, had I a rod.
A marble fireplace –
Anastomosing patterns ~
Long since understood.
(For Dave Johnston, a great teacher)
