Bouquet welcoming
Mothers and their offspring when
They escape their home

Melbourne Cup
Yesterday was Mel-
Bourne Cup day in Aussie land,
Big Celebrations
Even wore a fascinator
Because I could
So I did
Except I had one of my
Roller coaster days
So was in tears
For most of it
And I am still getting teary-eyed
Thinking about some words said to me
That I took personally
And have wounded me
Descending to the Deep
Spiraling down and
Down and down again from right
Top to the deepest
Point
Agapanthus Thriving
This is what a row
Of agapanthus should look
Like, mine certainly don’t!
How hard can it be to grow agapanthus?
Year after year I’ve been getting less flower heads from a whole row of agapanthus and this year I only have one (will take a photo of it later)!
Fibonacci Flower
How many petals
Are on this flower, can you
Count thirty-four? So we can
Prove Fibonacci?
Snaking Tracks
Railway tracks under
Neath my feet, snaking towards
A future unknown
Lemonade Lunch
Lemonade for you
One for me too, work-free day
Celebrate in style!
Mulberries!
Newborn Mulberries
Shyly hiding in their tree
Blushing, nearly ripe!
Neon Knife
Neon light knifing
Above, slicing the night sky
Into separate halves
Feathers and Messages
Look mom a feather!
And another one!
There are so many
Can we collect some?
Can we gather a few?
Yes you may
Collect a few
Gather some
Feathers so soft and fine
Speaking of creation
And the world we have been
Born into
Time for home
These feathers
Are filling the car
On the seats and the dashboard
Flying out the window
And all around
Unlock the door
Phone rings! Landline!
Run for the hand piece
I’ll get it! Will be for me!
Hi Vonita, how are you?
How is Australia? How is Sydney?
I’ve been thinking about your mom
And have a message for you!
If I mention the word ‘Feathers’
Would it have any meaning to you?
At all?
