Out of the Blue!

The Authors’ Breakfast was a great success this morning. We had a room to ourselves at Novotel Geelong and a couple of hours to meet new people, mingle, and talk about all things books.







Out of the Blue!

This morning I attended
An authors’ breakfast
Then, out left field
You were there!
Spying on me!
Peeping through the balcony window

After the event
I was waiting at the bus stop
Then, out of nowhere
You were there!
Spying on me!
Peeping out of the leafy trees

When I returned home
I took Frankie for a walk
Then, out of the blue
You were there!
Spying on me!
Peeping from behind the whispy clouds

Twilight Time


Over at Weekly Prompts, the Weekend Challenge is the word: Adapt. To visit their fabulous site, please click on >> Here. … below, my poem contains the word “Adaptable” …


Twilight Time



Photogenically
As the setting sun
Folded into the horizon
The half-moon shimmered
Like a white wave
Upon a sapphire ocean


And simultaneously
Nature’s adaptable birds
Painted winged silhouettes
On the chromatic
Twilight sky

Throwback Friday, Invisible Miracles

Two weeks to go until the ‘launch party’ for my new book “Until Eyes Hear Sound”, and today’s Throwback Friday poem is in Chapter 7, (Memories and Rhymes) page 95, of the Book, and I wrote the poem in January 2021.






Invisible Miracles



I am neither black nor white
I am not day nor night
I am neither sand nor sea
I am not a flower or a bee
I am not wrong or right
I am not heavy or light


I am Clear and free
I am a cool ocean breeze
I am a song we breathe
I am the air from our trees
I am a star above your grave
I am a shy sound wave


I can be brave
I am your invisible slave

I’m Envious (a Rhyming Haiku)




He’s keen to take flight

Clear skies beyond our gunsights

Freedom’s his birthright

Rain-less Tears

On our morning walkies, it was very overcast, but for some strange reason it didn’t rain, just a few drops here and there, like “Rain-less Tears”




Rain-less Tears



across the barren
winter paddocks
beyond the horizon’s
leafless trees
the gloomy clouds
are slowly assembling

above the melancholic
funeral congregation
humbly huddling
shoulder to shoulder
quietly weeping
rain-less tears

Five Birds (a Tanka)






Five Birds (a Tanka)

Birds on a light post
Witnessing the world below
Five jurors on hold
The verdict is forever
Blowing in the winds of time
