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.

It gave us a whale of a time, as kids. Amazing the way the waves compress water into a cave in the rocks until, under pressure, it sprays out in a gout!

The minute I read them I could see where they could lead, and it all came together really quickly.

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