Best intentions gang aft a-gley

 Some felt that simply the page of 5 poems was enough:

And that these two pages didn't add anything:

So having started the illustrations for fun, here are the last

three for you to enjoy, I hope.

#3
Sea Pinks along the cliffs
Nesting with Puffins, Fulmars,
Nature Lovers smile.
 
#4
Sea pinks on the rock,
Fair Isle coast in salty wind,
Pink cushions hold fast.
 
#5
Sea pinks shimmering -
Dewy droplets lovers shed.
Fragile strength embrace.

A comment. With 3 poems in this entry there is a reason to think of 2 cases: one - all 3 poems were written by WOB and then #1 and #2 must have been written by HAL  which of course means:

HAL's name, according to Clarke, is derived from Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer.

Or there are mixed authors for #1 and #2  and also for these last three poems. Take your pick and let me know your thoughts, please. What could be simpler? Well, not writing is also simple, sadly.
