One Single Impression prompt #23 ~ Folly
~
Like simple
Hasty
Line drawings
Stuffed with painted plastic
And dumped
On a line of
"Notice Me" posts
These pseudo pelicans
Grace the fringe of
A Hastings children's playground
~
Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Real pelicans at Hastings
~
Yet just around the corner
Low
On muddied sands
Beneath the pier
Roam
The real pelicans

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Penguin folly at Safety Beach, Mornington Peninsula
~
But Safety Beach must claim
The Crown of Ultimate Folly ~
Near a children's playground
(Again)
Soaring to the skies
All alone is
An artificial penguin
~
Strangely
Just around the corner
Any corner
No penguins roam ~
They prefer life on
Phillip Island
(Across the Westernport waters from Hastings)
Where no artificial penguins
(Or pelicans)
Exist
~
