Wonderful Covered Rust Bucket

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Believe it or not, this is a water tank, storing water for garden use.
The owner used an old corrugated drum, a recycled cover from "somewhere" + what appears to be some kind of sieve inserted in the cover.
An old pipe drips water from the roofline and
VOILA!

Vertical Anomalies

So strange

Peripheral vision means an awareness of
All that is here and there
A horizontal skill

A journey from A to B
(Usually a horizontal)
May be a mapped formula
From here to there

A vertical usually means
Some structure
(Natural or unnatural)
Connected with earth
(Actually or relatively)
Rising in perpendicular symmetry

Yet a horizon
(A virtual horizontal)
Is associated with
Leaving here for
Where?
Almost a virtual vertical
Rising hope
Rising dreams
A Clayton's vertical
Lifting from
Here to

Up there

And the real anomaly
The parallel verticals of a bird cage
To a bird
Mean a semi-useful horizontal ladder
To a human
The verticals are a convenient containment
And the spaces are little more than
A scratch point
(Or a complementary
Nipping point)

Strange
So very strange
