Fa – the Green Dragon

A Place for the Odd Musings of an Expat Bristolian

AEOLIAN

Caused by wind, wind-blown

Good excuse for Bad-Hair day

Natures freedom mode

THINGS THAT BREAK

I saw her making

omelets, breaking many eggs

then she broke my heart

PAR, Cornwall

Par is clay country

Kaolin or China Clay

Used to make paper

CAVIL

Blow against the fur*

he cavils at all I say

only to find fault

Note: To blow against the fur comes from the practice of furriers to blow against a pelt to find imperfections.

OPPIGNORATE

To pledge or to pawn

When I gave my heart to you

Redeeming with love

DEFLUOUS

Softly flowing down

Like girl’s freshly shampooed hair

falling round her neck
