Donuts, Fuel and Hot Dogs

Donuts, Fuel and Hot Dogs

high above the seagulls
Blackpool Tower -
a boy waves his hand…………Soin

the whistling wind drowns out
the children's laughter…………Higashi

donuts, fuel and hot dogs
sweating
people in the queue…………Basho

gritty sand mixing
with the sticky candyfloss…………Hokushi

in the deep blue sea
a tug boat
drifts through coral waves…………Soin

railings rough as rocks
bump beneath my hand…………Higashi

flashing lights on the tram
cleaning up
the midnight sky…………Basho

a roller coaster stops
on the horizon…………Hokushi

Soin: Luke, Sarah & Zoe
Higashi: Aleasa, Beth & Hanna
Basho: Daniel, Mathew B., Mathew H. & Sam
Hokushi: Huzaifa, Mahmood, Mubeen & Zakir

Sabaki: John Carley
