Cinquain / Shadorma




sometimes
we need good news
mum survived the bush fires
her joey may survive summer
with luck

here soon
time flies quickly
seasons merge - in six weeks
summer fire season will begin
in spring 

blue skies
i treasure them 
last summer there were none
windows closed and smoke everywhere
nightmare

it' s been a
mild winter so far
pandemic
under wraps
for a while before it spreads
like everywhere else

our bears
will be okay
if la nina arrives
forecast says she will this summer
who knows


as for you
please stay safe for me
i need you
to keep me
strong- going on -here's lookin'
at you lovely one

  5. Yes, I – who love summer – almost can't bear for summer to return, in case....

  6. With so many native species dying in bush fires last year seeing young ones born now is a treat. Just wish we would consider them worth preserving rather than having to run the gamut of our own stupid behaviour and foreign mining magnates.
