The Picture Ranch 69

Bet you've given up on this! [I almost did, too]. But I'm going to KDP it when it's done - and I've pulled the loopholes tight and rescued the dangling threads. Image source is Pinterest, but the image is PD... and yes, that is Buster in drag.

Your poem

Posted on Wed, 18 Nov 2020

reminded me of a visit to the Jurong Bird Park in Singapore one day, over 40 years ago.

Monsoon season, I remember it well. Half the broadsheet back page of the Straits Times would be dedicated to forecasts attempting to predict at what...

striking imagery here.

Do you mean "algæ-d" at line 8?

Your poem finishes very strongly with these lines.

this has touches of MR James about it: something off, glimpsed out of the corner of your eye. Bags of atmosphere, you have a sure touch when generating a sense of place.
