I just missed the bus
And I’m already too late
Little flower greets
Hello, little one
I love your yellow!

Protea Dilemma!
I wrote a poem
About a King Protea
Except the image
Contained in my book
(Not this image – better)
Is not a King type
But a bearded one
Is that a problem, you think?
Will there be lashings?
(How can you write about a King Protea and add a Bearded Protea?
How dare you?
I dare! Because its my book, and I can)
And I love the photo
And I love the name King Protea
Bearded Protea in my poem does not work
School Band!
Star Wars, Tequila
Spider-Man, Happy! School Band
Notes flooding the gym
Deck chairs!
Why are there deck chairs
In the middle of Sydney?
I don’t know, Vonita
But I love the colour!
Green Fingers
Out of ten, green
Fingers have I none – Watering
Can, please help me out
Empty Swing
Neighbors empty swing
Echoing the voices of
Children now grown up
Ballet Lesson
Sister and I—
She older than me
Mom is away
At shops for the day
Babysitter at home
But she’s occupied
Shall we jump,
The bed is free?
Mom won’t hear
Because she’s not here
Arrived from ballet
And we have so much energy
Jump, jump and jump some more
Until finally I jump to the floor
Freshly polished to make it gleam
Shoulder connects, collarbone does too
Snap!
Six year old frame breaks in two
Pain surges raw!
I’ve never felt agony before
And mom’s not here
Only babysitter, sister and me
I can’t move, I can’t walk
And I know what it feels to
Want to die
Just like Honey!!!
I am lost
Don’t know where I am
Don’t understand the language
The faces unfamiliar
I am unfamiliar
Uncomfortable
Fair skin, fair hair
Standing out from the crowd
I am part of the crowd
Eavesdropping because I can
I am in the movies now!
And I don’t have to hit replay
Ten million times
And I don’t have to watch this movie
Ten million times
My favourite in the whole world
The favourite for me
There is only one favourite of mine
And it has never changed
Finally, all will be revealed
The mystery and suspense forever gone
For what did Bill Murray ever whisper
Into the ear of Scarlet Johansson?
And how dare she ever act in another script
When she belongs so firmly, so rightly in
Lost in Translation!
Bonus YouTube – one I can set on replay
All through the night
I’ve been told its a Girlie Flick
Fine by me – I’m a girl!!
And a very nice one too!

Hello Spring!
My reader is filled
With amazing pics of Fall
(Or Autumn if you prefer!)
But for me who is
And has always been
A Southern Hemisphere
Kinda lovin’ girl
We are celebrating
