Wynne Prize winner...

All those dusky red tones enhance the sparse spread of greens...But the character in the twines clasping the tree trunk win the spotlight...(The Wynne Prize is an Australian landscape painting or figure sculpture art prize established in 1897). https://t.co/SUp3VuUJHt

Melbourne is quite a character...

Melbourne is quite a character...
Mid-afternoon today, in spring,
she offered us 5 degrees centigrade + rain...
Now, it is 5:32pm.
The sun shines - though bleakly,
and the temperature has risen to
10 degrees centigrade...
Aaah Melbourne... you are...
ummmmm....
Melbourne...

huddled days...

I think I like these huddled days
when the winds moan
and the skies cry
I board a ship to unknown lands
where no one else can pry

where a market place of stories
parade their heart and soul
and I can choose to feel a life
unfettered by a toll#micropoetry
