she just wanted to disappear
numb herself to the pain
so she ran away
she'll drink orange juice
sip iced tea
eat sticky date pudding
go to the beach
enjoy the blue sky
explore the four corners of the earth
she knows she'll be OK
beautiful gals who look like a ripe peach
tend to land on their feet

grown in offices apartment and homes
no green thumbs needed
in danger of extinction
in their wild habitat
land clearing responsible
must we destroy
absolutely everything

it was nice
having her own bear
she felt safe
but sadly
the bear hugs and claws were more
than she could cope with
living in the desert
best to make your own fun
or go quietly mad
hello
what's this then
attention seeker
bushfire hazard
burnt sausages wont be
the only charred offering
on the menu
whenever he listens to wagner
he is overcome with an incredible urge
to conquer poland
safer to light a small bonfire
was a public holiday
celebrating
the queens birthday
unsurprisingly her majesty prefers canada to oz
yesterday
the beach disappeared
at bondi
swept across the pavilion
and into the shops
yesterday
huge waves
dotted our coastline
too dangerous to swim or surf
not for the faint hearted
yesterday
i saw the whales
having such fun
they seem to enjoy
these extreme weather conditions
jumping out of the water
crash landing
and for the first time
i understood
what having a whale of a time meant
good on them

morning letters
arranging the flars
supervising the servants
it's a hard life
this takes me back
to a time when
it was always summer and smiles
life was a brighter colour sprinkled with magic
the long long road ahead was so far away
a mere dot on the horizon
we thought it would never end
but it did end
and now we have arrived at the pointy end of life
rickety and aged
no longer beaming beauties
or dancing queens
inevitable maybe
but not recommended
OPEN LINK WEEKEND # 122
warns drivers of imminent danger
with her art
our rose warrior
shines a little beauty and light
on dismal dark places
These are a few of her favourite things
awaking to pink lilies
her favourite meal
freshly squeezed orange juice and tea
soft boiled egg and soldiers
yes she is still 10 years old
thinks of all the things she has to do
dives back under the fur rug
resolves not to do any of them
the adult gives the ten year old a talking to
she finally drags herself out of the warm cosy bed
begins the day
jealous of those bears
which get to hibernate throughout winter
