I could be a willow...

Lyrical thoughts with so much gritty substance...
I've always imagined, in some alternative life, that I am a tree...a willow...one that loves to share the beauty of water... https://t.co/m4OftNLlhi

in this life...

A poetic response to 'Secret Scribbled Notebooks' (2004) - Joanne Horniman

in this life
I choose to be a tree
ever-changing
a deciduous tree
sleeping winter slumbers
unfolding new leaves
in the springtime

those who love me
appreciate
all that I am#micropoetry pic.twitter.com/uMgN92P0nv

writing in the dark...

'Writing in the dark again. It makes me feel free, not being able to see what I'm writing. And, as usual, I am invisible in this tree. My magic cloak.'
- 'Secret Scribbled Notebooks', Joanne Horniman

kissing a book...

'I found that kissing a book was like hugging a tree. It made me feel better.'
-'Secret Scribbled Notebooks', Joanne Horniman

I would like to be a tree...

'Secret Scribbled Notebooks' - Joanne Horniman - 'I would really like to be a tree. Not forever, just for a little while. A mango perhaps, with lots of sheltering leaves and luscious fruits.'

The feathered Dromana locals are far from happy when a crow decides to visit the neighbourhood...

an antidote from other wires...

Thank you 🙏...Whispering spring leaves + blossoms are a wonderful antidote to other news in Victoria...Felt the pain of the brilliant Victorian health team today...

So many stresses attached to remote learning, and then a delightful little Twitter post like this turns up on my timeline... It all helps to survive these lockdown days...
