Ten Things Found in a Shipwrecked Sailor's Pocket

- By Ian McMillan

A litre of sea. 
An unhappy jellyfish. 
A small piece of lifeboat. 
A pencil wrapped around with seaweed. 
A soaking feather. 
The first page of a book called ‘Swimming is Easy’ 
A folded chart showing dangerous rocks. 
A photograph of a little girl in a red dress. 
A gold coin. 
A letter from a mermaid.
