Whiskey Tasting

Not sure why I took
This shot to start – looking back
I love the Yellow!

Happiness Is

Happiness is…
Bookcase brimming with books
Cracklin Rosie wafting past my senses
Voice of Neil Diamond – bliss

Hamilton Island

In the heart of the
Great Barrier Reef, lies a
Pristine isle of bliss

Yellow Bus

A single bus and then repeat
In a straight line proudly stand
Awaiting their journey’s start
At leisure while in another place
Travelers anxiously strain
For a glimpse of that expected view
Hoping for that splash of yellow
Or maybe today, perhaps, there might be red?

Procrastinating

Just in case you haven’t heard
Enough of carols wherever you may turn
Allow me to share my favorite
Christmas Tune with you
Takes me back to when I was ten
And a Boney M audio cassette did I receive
Along with a red and black walkman player
(Remember them? Anyone?)

I should be working now
This post is me procrastinating
If I do not respond to any comments or likes
It is because my head is buried in
Eclipse, Java and Springframework
Bring on the coffee
Bring on the love
Shoulder massages?
Should I be so lucky?

Delicate Yellow

Delicate Roses
Delivered free from nature
To brighten the world

Giving Gifts

image

Gifts make me happy
Giving gifts and receiving too
So while I be far away from family
Far away from home
The past few months
I’ve said goodbye to Candy Crush
(Level 213)
I’ve said goodbye to bedtimes at nine
Lifted my hands and started to write
So for this Christmas
I have a gift from my heart
A thought I have dreamed up
A book I have written
Personal edition not for sale
Gift to friends and family
To wish all the souls I love
Scattered across the globe
A very merry Christmas
From Vonita in Sydney
Because while I am here
You are in my heart

Reflections
Mirrored in balloons
Of burnt lime
