at holiday time...

PASSING THOUGHT:
At holiday time,
I seem to seek a splinter or two of Emily Dickenson...
quite content to drift from thought to feeling...
I see worlds through the eyes of other travellers...
I explore random ideas...
I feel little compulsion to join crowds...

holidays...

holidays
offbeat worlds where
strict sleep and food
landscapes
thaw #tanka

streams of light...

streams of light
may be here
may be there but
electrified
barbs
must pass #tanka https://t.co/M2w0wb793h

wintry wind's stealthy coup...

wintry wind's
stealthy coup
lady summer feels
assaulted
abused #tanka

what summer?...

Nearly midday,
and our peninsula summer temperature
is a mere 15 degrees
with a cool wind blowing
and a few blinks of sun... https://t.co/mUeWDryHKF

earthquake in Victoria today...

Western Victoria had a bit of a 'shaking up' morning today about 8am...
This 3.7 earthquake rocked the Stawell and Ararat area near Glenorchy... https://t.co/1UHL8Ie9h2

life's rubble...

there are days
when life's rubble
needs cleansing#haiku

beautiful mystery of the sea...

Such fascinating, mysterious sea life...
I dragged the photo to Google images, but nothing seemed to match or come close...
Incredible and beautiful mystery... https://t.co/YqnDbQgvO8

UPDATE: I have now learnt that this is a Anemone Phlyctenactis tuberculosa - wandering (or swimming) sea anemone...

MY POETIC REVIEW of 'A Theatre for Dreamers' by Polly Samson

sunny island days
intent on keeping
the Cold War at bay
(at least
the political Cold War)
other wars were
simmering
brewing
but where there's
sea
sun
ouzo
stars and
a slice of moon.......https://t.co/szjNtO2yNC

summer afternoon...

hazy
numb
afternoon
distant music
dots the air #tanka
