Melting My Heart (a Tanka)
Happy Birthday Carole
Melting My Heart (a Tanka)
The white fluffy clouds
Cannot stop the Autumn sun
From melting my heart
Around her bygone birthdays
Alas, the years keep passing

Gold adorns my sky
A brilliant yellow sunset

Woof, Woof, Are You Listening (Written by Frankie)
Woof, Woof, Are You Listening (Written by Frankie)
Ah, there he is
On that silly old computer again!
“Woof, woof, stop!”
As I stomp my paw
On the keyboard
“Woof, woof
It’s time for our walkies”
Then he pretends not to hear me
“WOOF, WOOF”, I bark louder!
“Yes! Ok, as soon as I finish the next verse
I’ll get your lead and off we’ll go”
“Yeah
woof, woof
he heard me that time”

Throwback Friday, Fiery Pearls and an Ambient Eye
I wrote this six-line poem back in July 2022, and as is my way, today, I have slightly altered the wording.
“Since I don’t believe in anything
I can pretend about everything” … (anonymous)
Fiery Pearls and an Ambient Eye (Revised)
The stars are the universe’s fiery pearls
And when smoke falls into my eyes
Her leftover embers rekindle my heart
The silver moon is my world’s ambient eye
And when my mind falls out of focus
Her warrior radiance enlightens my soul

Shangri La, Volume 7. Grey Clouds Have Rainbows
FREE PDF COPY >>> Links Below
Hello, dear readers and followers, as you might know, I stopped producing my “Tullawalla Booklets” at # 31, because that was the house number of our family’s Tullawalla Homestead.
But the booklet formats are a superb way for me to catalogue the vast number of poems I produce and as the saying goes “I Am Turning Another Page”. Here I have begun a new series of poem booklets, called “Shangri La” which is the name of my little Villa, and is my piece of “earthly paradise, a retreat from the pressures of modern civilization”.
Incredibly, I now have “1686” Poems filed in these booklet formats!!
Click on >> Here. for the link to your FREE: PDF Copy of “Shangri La, Volume 7. Grey Clouds Have Rainbows“
Grey Clouds Have Rainbows
The night is not always dark
You know
The moon has a bright side
The other side hides
in the Sun’s shadow
An icy pond’s reflection
Has the wrong image
Of whom was right
And grey clouds have rainbows

Leaning Against the Wind (a Musette)
Threadbare
Leaning against
Despair
