Where to Now?
Where do they hide?
When the sea is at full-tide
What lays beyond the sand?
In foreign hands on distant lands
Their long windy road is untraveled
With trials of fear yet to be unravelled

I have lots of extra back copies and I’m trying to clear some space in my very cluttered office.
Send (or direct deposit) $2.20 for one recent back copy, $3.30 for two or $5.50 for four different copies.
Just the price of postage 🙂
Great reading and inspiration. Each issue contains a wide range of poetry and stories from writers all over Australia as well as prompts for writing.
My poem today is actually made up of 3 different Haiku, however, as what often happens with my jumbled words and thoughts, the 3 stanzas seemed to fit together to form “one” poem …
Right or Wrong
As we scrape along
In life, we are often wrong
Before our swan song
Are we wrong or right?
Why do we let the moonlight
Disappear from sight?
Gloom enfolds the view
Gey clouds cover rainbow hues
Darkness stalks us too

Framed (a Haiku)
A painting is framed
An artist assigns his name
The creation claimed

“After you have exhausted what there is in business, politics, conviviality, and so on – I have found that none of these finally satisfy, or permanently wear – what remains? Nature remains.” ― Walt Whitman
Intertwined
Why are we deaf and blind?
How can we be so silently unkind?
Nature is not our kitchen to be redesign
Mother Earth is our holy shrine
Our one and only protective rind
All we need, is her love intertwined

“We build too many walls and not enough bridges” … Isaac Newton
Unfinished (a Haiku)
The bridges are burnt
Ancient connections lost

The original version of ‘Sailing By’ I wrote back in 2012, and this revised piece is from July 2018
Sailing By
Gone, a day, weeks, years
Gone, sailing by, lonely tears
Gone, sailing by, the good times
Gone, the years of a lifetime
What’s the difference between desire and passion?
What’s the chance of finding one in billion?
There are millions in the oceans of the world
There are thousands of beats to every new heart
What’s the difference between love and pain?
What’s the chance of falling in love again?
There are millions of stars in the Milky-Way
There are hundreds of dreams about love yesterday
What’s the difference between the sea and the sky?
What’s the chance of sharing the horizon in July?
