Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Hastings pier
Weekend Wordsmith prompt ~ It didn't happen
~
I longed to wander the pier
Right out into rippling waves and sea air
But there was lots of wire
Long and spiked
Dividing the official
From the casual
I longed to be free
It didn't happen

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Stony Point station, Mornington Peninsula
I longed to capture the train
Sinking
With a sigh into
The end of the line
I waited
I waited
It didn't happen

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Pelicans at Hastings
I longed to forget finding
A precious digital moment
Today
And just go home ~
But a surprise pose
From a photogenic pelican
Ensured
It didn't happen

Such wonderful words and pictures.
Railway stations always both sadden and delight me.
The beach picture is wonderful too.
Hello,
I just had to
say Hello, all
the way from
Norway ; )
Au revoir : )
foiled again.... and what is up with all the wire fence closing off the water????
Yay! Pelicans! I was sad about not seeing pelicans at my trip to the beach this week, so this gorgeous pic worked a treat! They are such magical looking birds. Love your photo!
What a great use of the prompt! I love that you got to capture a shot of that photogenic pelican. And you have an apology at Weekend Wordsmith:

Here's what it says:
Gemma, I apologize to you! No, my overlooking your comment isn't because you are new here, but because I took part in a 24-hour Read-a-Thon (from noon Saturday to noon Sunday, my time). I was awake and reading for the whole 24 hours, as I reported here:
http://bonniesbooks.blogspot.com/2008/06/post-event-survey-questions.html
During the event, cheerleaders visited all the readers multiple times, and left comments on my Bonnie's Books blog. I am notified by email whenever there's a comment on ANY of my blogs, including this one, and YOUR comment was lost among the many (hundreds?) from the cheerleaders.
I have put your link into the list where it SHOULD have been, but I've singled it out to get plenty of notice for the rest of this week. That's part of my apology.
Since this is NOT how I usually treat wordsmiths who share here, I do so hope you'll come back.

That pelican rocks. I love it, lol. I also enjoyed reading the words underneath the pictures. Good job. :)
really enjoy stopping by... repeating lines w/each poem is excellent... and as always photos capture your poetry so well...
