What inspiration
For morning post could be as
Helpful as coffee?
Birthdays make me sad
For a number of reasons, not just one
Not a single birthday do I have
But two
Which would be the day
I entered the world
Escaped from my mother’s womb
And the day that is recorded
For all the years to come
On my passport, driver’s licence
Any document that would record
The hospital would have
My real birthday noted
Other witness is no more
Every year I get to celebrate
Not one day, but two
And I wish I had but none
My mother and I shared the same week
Three days, but generations apart
Her Farewell was celebrated
On my birthday, at least on one of them
And so birthdays make me sad
What would my new sign be?
My new sign would be
April Baby!
How would I describe those who share it?
I would describe them as
Being Alive!
I do not like to share birthdays
With Farewell Services on the same day
As a birthday of mine
And so birthdays make me sad
Squashed like a sardine
Cramped into a bus—no space—
None at all, for me
Sitting on bus floor
Not very elegantly
Wearing my designer heels
In my day job attire
Really need to sleep, but no
Write some poetry
My iPhone and I
Railway tracks under
Neath my feet, snaking towards
A future unknown
I know we have work to do
I know it must be done
Spreadsheets, planning, figures, facts
Project plans, and timelines too
I’ll pop over then we can start
Get your laptop ready, coffee set to brew
You live nearby and office too far
I’ll pop over in just a second or two!
Wow, what’s happening here?
Is this your home or mine?
We have the same taste in books I see
Comprehension beyond belief!
Do you finish your books ever?
The same books as mine?
Can you share the stories with me?
I love the covers, but have no idea –
What is underneath
What lies beneath the surface
Wait a minute!
Decorated walls – just like mine
Colour of paint – just like mine
Even this furniture!
Just like mine
I am feeling overwhelmed, one grand mystery
This is too much for me
Maybe we have the same taste in java beans
Because I really now need that mug of coffee!
Milk, no sugar please!
But I’m guessing you know that.

Lemonade for you
One for me too, work-free day
Celebrate in style!
Shadows side by side
Reflecting friendships walking
Together, apart

Newborn Mulberries
Shyly hiding in their tree
Blushing, nearly ripe!
Beware! There might just be
Mommy Duck and Ducklings Three
In close vicinity!
This is what keeps me
Imagining, this is my
Very big passion
December 2014!
No sleep until then!
