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 “1853” 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)

** Over at Weekly Prompts, It’s their end of the month, “One Day” Prompt. Please visit their fabulous site by clicking on >> Here
My “Shangri La” Booklet took well over “One Day” to compile and produce.


Serene Memories
I live in a time zone
Where a peaceful river flows
Through the heart of my home
Down the road, toward the South
The Ocean’s shimmering memories
Convey a tranquil taste
Of sea mist to my mouth
And not far away, toward the North
The mountain’s eucalyptus fragrance
Serenely follows me back and forth
Ivor Steven (c) December 2024

sounds so lovely and the peace is found inside and out
