Hullo #fragmentsfriday @blackboughpoems Thanks to @MatthewMCSmith for being the inventor of this poetic gizmo!

This week’s #FragmentsFriday, inspired by wild Cornish waves and the spectacle of the sea at dawn.
Thank you to @blackboughpoems and @MatthewMCSmith, and to special guest host @helen_laycock 🙏
