dolphin gifts...

A 'feel good' story - from the smiling creatures of the sea...
Coronavirus Australia: Dolphins leave ‘gifts’ while missing human interaction during lockdown https://t.co/4bM4V9i8EW via @newscomauHQ

Perhaps these dolphins are really missing a feeding routine initiated by humans...But within that chain, humans do feature...and so they are missed...

a twisted mind
mirrors
a sprained soul #microprompt 1375 sprain #haiku #micropoetry

I see leaders, in various fields, whose mind flows seem to be twisted, out of synch with people...which leads me to wonder about the state of their soul...

reverie...

reverie
some thin green
pushing through
hefty mountain rocks
willing to survive #tanka #MayTanka #MaTankaMo #5lines pic.twitter.com/yENpDRQYZA

'poeming'...

'poeming'
a frazzle of sparks
competing for
musical recognition
and belonging #tanka #MayTanka #NaTankaMo #5lines https://t.co/IArKajiGbd

Writing a poem really is like refereeing a competition...where ideas unfold and shape-shift; where words compete for a place in the final musical finale...

I love the journey...the experience...and almost feel a twinge of sadness when the madness is done...

writing addiction...

Writing helps me to survive other demands and pressures. When they overwhelm...I write...Then go back to duties for Rounds 2 or 3 or 4... Writing is a healthy addiction... from my point of view...But others may see procrastination sneering in the wings...

flow of life...

the flow of life
is the force
that erases
deadly
stagnation #tanka #MayTanka #natTankaMo #5lines https://t.co/GC9VEcF0E3

to-do list continued...

PASSING THOUGHT: 'To-do' list reduced by 1 - the BIG 1 - the highly-dreaded supermarket trek. Reward - scroll Twitter with soup of the day in hand - coffee. Chocolate could tempt me too. Might think about dismantling the 'to-do' list further...hmmm... What takes the least time... pic.twitter.com/U5PRiq1moX

Is There Anybody Out There...

This cover would be a winner for Pink Floyd's 'Is There Anybody Out There' from 'The Wall' album.https://t.co/JgZ6VrhgDm via @YouTube

Scrolled more posts...O what a grand feeling to be 'sucked in'... But still, the image, though a year old as I now know, would still push the Pink Floyd buttons - pandemic or no pandemic...
