October spring morning...

spring morning skies
in October
a fluffy fusion of
drifting

inner wounded child...

NOTE TO SELF: The inner wounded child is always there...lurking...But beware that you don't allow that child to grow beyond a toddler...It is then you are likely to lose parental control...

October is the month of rising wings...

October is
the month of rising wings
butterflies of the sky
opals and tourmaline
harmonise #tanka

my birthday poem...

My birthday poem from 'Poem For Every Day of the Year'...
A poem I know so well...but never has it meant so much as seeing it again today... Yes...my life is a little 'off the beaten track'...and yes, I am now proud of 'being different'... pic.twitter.com/k5ZAnVl4kh

birthdays are not my thing...

PASSING THOUGHT: Birthdays are not my thing these days...I prefer my 'aging' day to slip by...But this year, my usual 'escape', wandering somewhere new, is not an option in lockdown...So this day has seen me a little stressed...But 2 books of poetry (came early)+cake...Grateful🙏 pic.twitter.com/hfOgYoNeJ1

dawn is a veil...

dawn is a veil
of limp stratus
mist and grey waves
no telling where
day opens #tanka https://t.co/vwFoWviEoU
