Good morning dear readers, It’s a chilly Sunday here in Geelong, but it’s bad, my sister is coming down from Ballarat and we are going out for lunch. Cyndi will be staying inside, curled up next to the heater…..
My Door’s Firmly Shut
Early Sunday morning
At my desk
Writing in pencil
The inks frozen
No joke
Send the firewood
Light up my heart
With soulful words
Give my fingers a start
Knuckles are throbbing
An arthritic chill
My dog’s coughing
Poor little girl
She feels it too
Ah, not to worry
A sombre smile
A sun-ray
Shining through
Thawing my will
Freeing my quill

I’m sending some warm sunny rays from Atlanta, GA – USA. Even though not so hot today, it’s been hot and humid in my neck of the woods.

Isn’t it amazing that two people can be sitting down writing at the SAME TIME, sharing their thoughts and dreams, one freezing and one sweating? Life is full of wondrous miracles!
