Sunday Muse # 248

 so so sad

alone friendless no family

homeless

ice floe material

expendable

see this too often

what kind of a heartless

thoughtless species are we

to allow this to happen

to our elderly

and it's reaching epidemic proportions

charity begins at home

 

budget space travel
for beginners
anyone can afford it

home is red flowering gum trees and koalas
home is  screeching cockies and currawongs
home is surfing
swimming in tidal pools
home is eating sydney rock oysters
having a cold beer on a hot summers day
home is sharing my life with someone who says
“what do you think this is… bush week? “

 home is
a quick thinking aussie bloke to the rescue

a window of opportunity
presented itself
to mass market
poison to the poor
a cheap product called rapid
hurriedly made
from sand and butter sludge
by money grubbing capitalists
counting on huge profits
responsible for so much misery
leaving their filthy footprints
all over the earth

poor sand hurried footprints responsible butter rapid filthy market mass poison window

not a great idea 

for rinsing off wine stains

on this expensive dress

 

blame it on the champagne

blame it on  nerves

blame it on the unexpected shock

of the bridesmaids and some guests

a bit worse for wear

skinny dipping (gasp)

 

 

river weddings

are not without a risk factor

 two little frogs

one in a rosebud skirt

strike up a friendship

in a pond after a rainstorm

finding joy

keep on having fun

instead of attending

weary dreary noble medieval frog games

conjured up by basho

plip plop

poor judgement

opposite of fun

 growing up 

with a huge selection of rock pools

at my disposal was wealth

the discovery of a magical hidden world

of beauty and wonder

 

an enrichment for budding future poets and dreamers

hours spent  swimming under water in the deep pools

 locating all the little secret hidey holes

of minature sea life

summer days of childhood...idyllic

this poor guy

is a big big mess

very sad

it is life

shit happens often these days

the sign of the times

mental probs

everyone has them

so so sad

trop pressured

for some folks to tolerate

smell the fleurs drop out

 

 

Past three o’clock (Traditional) - Guildford Cathedral Choir (Barry Rose)

 

 past three o'clock

 on a cold frosty morning 

past three o'clock

 good morrow masters all

 

memories of school

the school choir

giggling gerties

wearing hats and gloves

along with an overwhelming nostalgia of

 a more gentle innocent time

long long ago

her faith was a great comfort to her

at the end it was all she had  to sustain her

suppose she was luckier than a lot

faith is a gift

not everyone has it

stairway to heaven

no i don't think so

a lot of it was where

angels fear to tread

an uphill battle

it's my birthday

it's my party

and i'll cry

if i want to

who would exchange

this island life reputed for its

delicate butterflies

golden sunsets 

and bamboo kitchens

an heirloom in the pacific

for city life

generally it's paradise

for the more mature person

except for the tropical tempests

and squalls

beautiful bijou

 on long tapered fingers

 shame about the nails

 

 

 

first modelling job

 luckily no fear of heights 

or parachute skirts

 

 

i shot the sheriff

but i did not shoot

loaded down with all those birds
