phrase “She hurried down the pathway through the gate” to create stories of
rainy weather, storms, the vista of daffodils under blue sky, thunder before
rain, an umbrella too small, gates to hell in a media circus, black cockatoos
squawking and the sound of a heartbeat.

A fly blown hairstyle, The blue organza dress, No unseemly conduct here, A dishonest teacher, Bullying and Sorry old man – a funny poem from Wendy.
