Today I submitted this piece to the “Positive Words Magazine”(Australia) for one their October Odes Prompts, “Polar Bears”
Polar Bears and Cold Sheep
hello world, do you see my frown?
will the blizzards ever calm down?
will the rains forever fall on broken ground?
will our tears of silence be the only sound?
the frozen wounds are deep
the mountains of snow are steep
humans need to stop being cold sheep
and begin taking their own individual leaps
the rewards of being caring and kind
far outweigh the coldness of being left behind

Where do the Children play?
Over at Moonwashed Musings, Eugi’s Weekly Prompts is: Either Or
Either Way
According to the book of Why
The sun will never die
And the moon is often seen
wearing a black tie
Either way
After the matinee
Where do the children play?
On our filthy ashtray

The Moon’s Midnight Demise
The eclipsing clouds unfolded lengthwise
Masking the chastised moon’s demise
Falling, ostracized and downsized
Out of the mesmerized midnight sky
The fading moonlight capsized
And sunk into my tired eyes
Was I to be finally baptized
Or lying there, tranquillized
Waiting to be mechanized and dehumanized

I have been busy today reloading my computer with my printers and scanner, then adding all the necessary apps that I use to organise to my poetry website …
Our spring weather was again atrocious today, but despite the appalling conditions we still managed to go out for our ‘walkies’ …
Images Below: in the right-hand photo, I am sure the big grey cloud was laughing at us, for being the only ones, crazy enough to brave nature’s fierce winds …
Stony Clouds (a Haiku)
The air turned stony
Gales tore in from the south pole
Grey veneered clouds laugh

Sunset corrals me
With shadow-less power lines
Until twilight falls
Then I switch on the night lights
And see old lovers in bed

Latitudinous
Today, spring swirled
And reversed back to cold
I was discombobulated
And felt sullenly too old
To cope with Mother Nature’s moodiness
And her mobility above the latitudinous

“Timeworn” … An interesting song by the French group ‘Wildpath’ to accompany my thought-provoking poem.

Hello dear readers, this weekend, I am going to Ballarat for my brother’s Birthday, and I’ll be taking my ‘Duck Muck’ computer box with me. Hopefully, my whizz brother will be able to repair it. So, that means I’ll be relatively quiet here on my ‘website’ until my errant computer is up and running again.

The Forest Monarch
She roams New Forest
Like a natural born monarch
A true native of the land
She’s glamorous and charismatic
A perfect heir for nature’s game of thrones
A noble horse for our country’s warring forces
