Spray Heads


The Blowhole is found along to the left of that far sticky-out bit to the left, but is best left alone!


Village with a Blow-hole of its own;

A wave, expect to surge into the stone

To swallow it, then comes a mighty quake;

Laughs local tribe as stranger wet will make

When standing on the edges; has a fit

As spray of water out of it will spit.

 

My old village of Knysna Heads has been on my mind a lot lately. Wordle 306 is just tailor-made for reflecting one of our childish amusements, when the tide was right, of watching unsuspecting sightseers get drenched.

    Love how the village is turned into a whale by having its own blow-hole; gives your locale a depth of character, adding to the sweet charm of the whole poem.

    Beautifully constructed poem with all the words in given order. That must have been fun (or a real test) to do.
