“Hi guys. My name is Frankie”, is in AnoMaly Street, Volume 3, no. 1



My selected entry from page 37 of the anthology…




Hi guys. My name is Frankie 

I’m a furry Cavoodle 
The owner of Ivor 
You may know him 
He pretends to be a poet 

I let him stay at my house 
And even allow him to sleep on my bed 
He’s bald, so he doesn’t shed hair 

Yes, I know  
That’s generous and kind of me 
Having said that 
In a disorganized manner
 

“I do not own much 
I do not owe much 
I share what I have 
I have hope and love” ** 

My home is his home  
If he takes me for walkies  
Three times a day 
 
 
 
** I borrowed these lines from Ivor’s poem, ‘I, Can Breathe’

Not Just Another Day (a Lanterne), Published in Geelong Writers Inc. AnoMaly Street, Chapbook

Thank you to the editor, Jo, and her team, for selecting my piece in the Geelong Writers Inc. “AnoMaly Street”, Chapbook, Poetry With A Difference, Volume 2, No. 2

A Lanterne is a cinquain form of poetry, in which the first line has one syllable and each subsequent line increases in length by one syllable, except for the final line that concludes the poem with one syllable. Its name derives from the lantern shape that appears when the poem is aligned to the center of the page.

Will We Choose Wisely? (a Senryu)

On Monday a Geelong Writers poetry group went to Rachinger Gallery in East Geelong for an Ekphrastic Poetry Workshop. Here I am presenting the painting, “Owl” by, Gale Jarmyn, and my associated Ekphrastic poem “Will We Choose Wisely”


Will We Choose Wisely? (a Senryu)




The owl shook his head

Angry feathers flew sideways

“You must choose wisely!”

My poem “Winter Slaps Autumn in the Eye” was one of 17 selected for publication in the Geelong Writers, “Winter Solstice Challenge” Brochure. Below is a photo of how the poem appears in the Geelong Writers Brochure




Winter Slaps Autumn In the Eye (a Tanka)




Time shortens in stride

Autumn leaves pepper the ground

Winter slaps the sky

Midday sun closes her eyes

Naked trees wisely survive
