Market Day






Market Day
 
 
 
The weather was not kind  
For our Makers Market Day 
The afternoon was wet with an icy wind 
Which naturally kept the crowd away  

I did not sell any books 
But again, my poem lucky Dip pot 
It was an intriguing and delightful success  
As all the envelopes contained my web address  
And I had some happy customers 
Who said they followed my website 
Their kind words have made my night

Gnawing Away on Hemingway






Gnawing Away on Hemingway



I’m driving along Beach Parade
Which overlooks the shimmering bay
and flocks of seagulls are flying every-which-way

I’m on the way to my Market Day
Where my poetry books will be on display
Hopefully, I will sell a few more today

I had to leave Frankie at home for the day
He’s a well-behaved doggie, and he should be okay
With his water bowl and food tray

He has a book to gnaw on, by Hemingway
that I gave to him for his birthday
Also, he likes chasing the seagulls away
But actually, he’ll sleep most of the day

Creative Geelong Indoor Market

Saturday 16th March, 11 am – 3 pm

I am running a stall opposite the mall at the Creative Geelong Indoor Market in Centrepoint Arcade, Little Malop Street, Geelong. Come along and say hello, and check out my “Three Self-published Books”: Tullawalla, Perceptions, and my new creation Until Eyes Hear Sound

Below my poem “Time Strolls” is one of my favourites from my new book “Until Eyes Hear Sound” and I thought it would be an appropriate piece for my day at the Market.

Over at Weekly Prompts, the Wednesday Challenge is the word; Chemistry … please visit their fabulous site by clicking on >> Here.
… and hopefully, my poetry Books possess the right “Chemistry” to attract the Market’s buyers


Time Strolls
From “Until Eyes Hear Sound”, Chapter 4, The New World? Same Universe!, page 49

I am no sleepy koala
Nor a pretty brolga
I am stoic and ancient, like Mount Olga
An old scribe from Tullawalla

You cannot feel my heart
Nor can you see my star chart
I am an astronaut without a spacecraft
An old pilot from the lost Ark

I am not flying alone in the dark
Nor will I swim among the hungry sharks
I am a dreamer fishing for humanities restart
An old disciple waiting to disembark
