Screenshot of the poem The Green Submarine by Ian Brownlie, from the Dirigible Balloon website. Poem text: The Green Submarine Captain Kim dived down deep into the ocean, In her green submarine called ‘The Gherkin in Motion’. Weaving past whales with the help of Mate Stu, Who steered the sub like a foot guides a shoe. The Gherkin sped on ‘til it reached the sea bed. From a map in her lap, Captain Kim calmly read: “At the Great Anchor, turn sharply north-west.” Mate Stu said “Aye aye!” and pressed on with their quest. Past anglerfish, tuna and even a shark, They gunned for a tunnel disguised by the dark. The sub reappeared in a shower of light, As before them appeared a fabled delight. The green submarine was a craft full of glee: A glittering city submerged by the sea! Their eyes bulged out wide like a great Praying Mantis. Captain Kim and Mate Stu had discovered Atlantis!
Taking another trip on the Dirigible Balloon with the (decidedly not sky-bound) Green Submarine!

When Callie turns to philosophy for answers on her problems, she gets more questions: What is justice? What is fairness? And is it her fault when Grampy has a stroke?

Today I will mostly be painting the ceiling in the bathroom, drinking coffee, cleaning the walls of the piano room, drinking coffee and starting the process of creating a longlist of poems on the Dirigible Balloon for the third anthology (and drinking far too much coffee).
