the poetry bus, she is here!
as the tfe poetry bus pulls up at the swiss stop it's a simple task ahead. pick one or more of the above images, pop them back on the bus and take them for a poetic journey.
I have to hurry if I'm catching the bus this time. I'll be on the road for more than a week, leaving Friday. If I can't make it, I'll be with you in spirit!
I have number one as an artistic representation of the alimentary canal, number three is an ancient Szechuam manuscript and number four is the surface of Jupiter's moon Io, seen at a distance of 200,000 miles. No idea about number two.
Hi Swiss - my first visit to your blog, although I have heard a lot about it from Dominic - now I have to choose which picture - but something will materialise for Monday - I promise.
