Snow Globe

Beautiful stars
Twinkle at night
Dance in the shadows
Of the moonlight

(Collaboration poetry between my daughter and I – I wanted Glittering Stars, No Mom – Beautiful stars, ok)

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge – Abandoned School

as if there are plenty of schools in the world
there is an empty school right here in Sydney
abandoned and not used
reminding us how much
education is key

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Abandoned Buildings or Barns

Two Sweet Memories

Although they now be
Grown, will never forget two
Sweet babies of mine

Babies

In response to The Daily Post’s Weekly Photo prompt: “Gone But Not Forgotten”

MoodBoard

last night I received a job to do
a job I’ve never done before
I had to choose some images
and place them not just randomly

but in their place to make a theme
write a story with no words at all
allow the colors to speak for me –
not something I can do quite easily

(for my life has always been around
numbers, logic, not much creativity
for one day job I have ever known –
the only profession I have filled

has been back-end, getting code to run
connect to banks, and test and fix
look up data and read it back
VXML my speciality)

now a mood board must I create
and where to even start?
so I chose images to choose my words
and speak my story instead of me

there is nature, there is light
there is style, there is life
there is a butterfly and trees
two pins for victory (not double loser pins like we’ve seen before)

And to form a theme, simplicity
building blocks to make a frame
to tie it all together, orange for Passion
not forgetting a few books for Poetry!

What do ya think, is it a pass?
Or should I do another one?

Bunny Tale

My daughter wrote a story
About a bunny feeling sad
He longed to be at a party
Was excluded from the crowd
Another bunny empathized
With bunny feeling sad
He felt his pain of being
Discarded, left alone
So kindness overtook
And bunny number two
Invited him to go along
To join in with the fun
So bunny was included
He was not left alone
He went along and at the end
His feelings were all glad

The End

Captured Dream

This morning when I went to sleep
Past midnight once again
I had a dream so real for me
Coming back so vividly

Allow me to type
So I can capture my dream
Before it vaporizes
And is taken from me

I dreamt of my mother
How she entered my room
She was on a bicycle
Geared up and ready to go

(All those weekly photo challenges
Of wheels and bicycles converging –
Gate crashing my dream)
First time my mother on a bicycle I’ve seen

Knock at the door
And friends waiting to go
Spend some time with my mother
And have themselves a day of fun

I was an onlooker at this little game
My mother acting strangely
Not like my mother would at all
She leaned over to give me a hug

I turned myself away, I’m sorry
No hugs coming your way
Give me back my mother, not one acting so strange
Tell me, where is my mother?

Where has she gone?

Happy December!

Glitter and gold
Reflect the season once more
Of joy and delight
Goodwill to man

Happy Holidays!
