I heard my
Mother’s voice
During the week
Of an April past.
On the weekend
She was gone,
That is how
Very sudden
Death can be.

Mudbugs of the Sea
Mudbugs of the sea
Lobsters in all their glory
Rainbow of colors surrounding their
Crustaceous anatomy
Appearing in blues, albinos, yellows and calicos
Phantom of the Opera wearing their masks of white
Make no meals for me

This is one of my initial poems that was deleted at some point
I am resurfacing it 🙂
Alphabet Tanka
Twenty-six letters
In the alphabet but not
All of them are in
This poem I have written—
Titled Alphabet Tanka
Hardened Wall
I
Say a word
But all I get is a
Wall
I knock
But there is no
Answer
Your silence is deafening my
Heart
While the pain in my chest
Deafens my soul and mind
The stone and bricks have been
Laid
One upon another
Until
There is no way to enter in
Speak to me!
I plead
My tears flow forth
But there is only an impenetrable
Hardness
The wall surrounding you
Is too strong
I cannot enter
In

Love in Ten Sentences
Thank you to the following kind writers who have nominated me to join in the Love in Ten Sentences challenge.
Author Erika Kind
A Walk on the Bright Side
Poetic Parfait
The challenge is to write a ten line poem each containing four words and the letter “love”. Well, sometimes I love a challenge – will I be able to write one that will actually make sense? Here goes!
Aching
I ache for love,
The only love that
Your love can provide.
True love lifts me;
In love’s warmth my
Heart melts love—so
Much love that when
Love has died, in
Time your love will
Be my only love.
Does this poem even make any sense?
My Own Favorite Love Quote
My heart melts love when I think of you

Worlds Apart
Remembering the touch of your hands
As they caress the softness of my skin
You are not here, do you remember
The times we have shared, those moments alone
When the world faded away, and it was only you and me
Where are you now? How I long for the touch of your hands—
I crave you
Cee’s Black & White Challenge: Photographers
A work colleague and my husband thought it might be fun to photograph me on my lunch break last year taking city photography (what I have to endure at work!):
Caught in the Act
And the photo in question is featured in my Angular post that can be found here:
Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge
Baby asleep and totally unaware:
I’ve extended the challenge to include animals (she (Lola) was too exhausted after getting lost in the bush yesterday, my friend had to fetch the car to fetch her, she is only 8 months old 🙂 )
Cape Town
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Study Abroad.”
I would live in Cape Town
That beautiful city by the sea—
The home of my mother’s birth
I would live near family
And all those dear to me
