all families
are affected by cancer
let's beat it together
the ancient hebrews
marked their doors
to escape death
let the daffodils
protect you
from the horrible scourge
by donation to the
CANCER COUNCIL
Throughout her career, Berthe Morisot created a vast body of work, including stunning portraits, landscapes, and intimate domestic scenes. Her contributions to the Impressionist movement paved the way for future generations of female artists, and she remains an influential figure in art history.

Poets and Storytellers United
Haiku
sorting through photos
on a winter's afternoon
tears and memories
Cinquain
Shadorma
HMV
who remembers this
an oldie
just like me
stamped on gran's vinyl LPs
a lifetime ago
eleven years already
it's still hard to believe
you are no longer with us
life has lost its glow
miss you Ruth
thank you darling
for all those wonderful weekends
treasured memories
never to be repeated
august
is a wicked month
everywhere
august
kids swimming now
still officially winter
went to the beach yesterday
rugged up oldies
POETRY WITH PICS
she was creative
had a lot of style
her homes were beautiful
olive jars
make great vases
if you can get
the lids open
everyone
knows why God made cats
it's obvious
minimalist
methinks not
chaotic clutterbug
maybe
across the bridge
east is east
north is nowt
and ne'er
the twain shall meet
yes
oh well
what to do
back to candles
again

sydney 1850

most have not
cadmans cottage
1813
very few buildings
built in the first 30 years of the colony

not just south of france
oz grows them in all the states
lovely sunshine fields
vincent would have liked it here
loony artists thrive down under

This Week's Words: The Whirligig # 435
front, pretends, mutter, guy, mother, hesitation, slam, smash, wild, kick, crumble, fury
no hesitation here
wild fury
slam smash
kick
what a guy
what a tour de force
this composer is
he pretends
he's all front
mutters his wife
crumbles easily
a mother's boy
puss knows his place in the sun
squashing the pansies
not pushing up daisies
hard to adapt
to the new age of
tech torture
oh well
there's always tea
and a hug
wunderkind of the past
we all get old
artists do it better
you don't need a canvas
to create a masterpiece
an old tin shed will do
a few paints
and a free afternoon
the rituals
of courting have changed
the new age
does it differently
he is not thinking
shall i compare thee to a summers day
au contraire
he is not thinking at all
an apple ?
wouldn't go down well
these days
a new car or jewellery perhaps
diamonds are a girl's best friend now
knight in the true sense
devoted to saving the insects and animal species
of this very troubled planet
POETS and STORY TELLERS UNITED
calls us
a gaggle of giggling gerties
the gorilla
calls us
a bevy of beautiful babes
we prefer
a troop of monkeys
tanked
ready and brave
Tanka Tuesday # 332
music
seeps through his soul
a greek god dances with love
with passion with strength with feeling

Tanka Tuesday # 331..... FLOW and WAVE
dear oh me
rejected again
it's not fair
miniature
elephants make loyal pets
nice to have around
a squirrel
is cute popular
and a pest
made welcome
no rejection signs for them
the door is open
