Hello, dear readers and followers, as you might know, I stopped producing my “Tullawalla Booklets” at # 31, because that was the house number of our family’s Tullawalla Homestead.
But the booklet formats are a superb way for me to catalogue the vast number of poems I produce and as the saying goes “I Am Turning Another Page”. Here I have begun a new series of poem booklets, called “Shangri La” which is the name of my little Villa, and is my piece of “earthly paradise, a retreat from the pressures of modern civilization”.
Incredibly, I now have “1711” Poems filed in these booklet formats!!
(on my bookshelf I have “The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson, which contains 1775 poems … when I first started writing poems, I never envisaged that I would produce so many poems … )

Beyond Flawed Paws
We are flying north before winter
I am on the edge of the flock
The outside feather of the throng
Away from the main group.
But close enough
To sense that I belong
Even with my tired and aging wings
The congregation allows me to tag along
And they caringly bunch together
Sheltering me when the wind is strong
We are a humble and united colony
Paternally migrating in perfect harmony
As part of nature’s cycle of eternity
We soar above the flawed paws
Of the world’s sparring humanity
And beyond those sharp claws
Of their tragic and panicky community
