My senses ignite
At thoughts of your
Scent and delight
At memories of
Your closeness of
Being, I remember
Your voice, your
Hands, your eyes
And I know I will
Never forget you
Lifting me off my
Feet in a stolen
Embrace

Pink or Blue
Pink flowers or blue
When I begin to sink your
Beauty lifts me up
FOMOphobia
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Play Lexicographer.”
FOMOphobia –
Inherent fear of missing
Out on anything
Is this a new word?
Thinking
Have been striving to
Think of a new word but none
Comes to mind at all

Live Mudcrab
It is so much fun
Going to the store
And finding crates
Of mudcrabs alive
And kicking or at
Least moving around
Waiting to be bought
And steamed and
Presented on a
Plate to eat
Shell and all
Not!
Free Association
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Free Association.”
Rain drops merging with
Golden sandy soil, I call
Australia home
Heart of You
I love the way
You look at me
I love the way
You make me feel
I love the blue
Of your eyes as
They melt into the
Heart of me
And I love the very
Heart of you

For we are young and free;
We’ve golden soil and wealth for toil;
Our home is girt by sea;

Of beauty rich and rare;
In history’s page, let every stage

In joyful strains then let us sing,

Beneath our radiant Southern Cross
We’ll toil with hearts and hands;
To make this Commonwealth of ours
Renowned of all the lands;
For those who’ve come across the seas
We’ve boundless plains to share;
With courage let us all combine
To Advance Australia Fair.
In joyful strains then let us sing,
Advance Australia Fair.
Australia, we thank you

Every day when I
Awake my beating heart reflects
