FRIDAY WRITINGS # 212..... POETS AND STORYTELLERS UNITED

nico
killed by a shark

swimming in  the harbour
a 12 year old schoolboy gone far

too soon

Tribute from surfers for Nico Antic at Bondi Beach

lucky
when i was young
we swam in the harbour
without fear or a care in the
whole world

weather
is not the cause
we all know what it is
they were here before us so we
must pay

( according to p.c. enlightened wackos)  

 culling
a no no now
no culling no netting
swim at patrolled beaches sharks win

for now

 

W3 Prompt # 196 .... DoubleTetractys...The Skeptics Kaddish

stop
give up
you can't push
the camel through
not even powerful money bags you
best get used to the heat where you're going
at least you'll be
with kindred
spirits
cheers

AUSTRALIA DAY ....JANUARY 26th

 WHATS GOING ON....Help for hurting hearts

https://newwhatsgoingon.blogspot.com

momentary maybe
but  important
certainly a 
help for hurting hearts
from recent events
we felt unified
joyous
optimistic
proud of
and love for our country
lots of laughs and smiles
and a few tears

"i am 
you are
we are Australian"

 

MLMM... MONDAY WORDLE #461

try  petty honest rich pride sorry support head custom worry suggest carry

INSPIRED BY DI
https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2026/01/26/they-are-out-to-kill-us/

why should governments support ordinary folk
why worry about them
why should the head of the government carry the burden
of  subsidising the aged pensioner and the disabled
the custom is a petty over zealous religious idea
these pensioners have no pride
we suggest you put them on ice floes
and float them out to sea as they did in the past
sorry that we are not permitted to do that any longer
anyone can get rich as long as you are amoral
 immoral and not honest...it's easy
follow the example of the world's most powerful leaders
there is no excuse
these pensioners are not giving it a try

FRIDAY WRITINGS # 211... POETS and STORY TELLERS UNITED

  

at night
you enter my thoughts
time after time

if you fall i will catch you
i'll be with you
time after time
i may teeter gasp
but I will never let you go

you are the shadow
half caught
in the corner of my eye
the distant wistful thought
on my pillow at night

when it's time
i will take your hand
swan dive with you
bathed in sunshne and smiles
into the starched white crest
of a giant ocean wave

WHAT"S GOING ON...PEACE

peace found
alone
in the wee hours
of the morning
quiet time
writing poems
reading your poems
listening to music
looking at my nan's jug
filled with nasturtiums

missing her

reflecting on the past

remembering my beautiful boys

enveloped in a mountain of pillows

on a big soft bed
finally dozing off

THE SKEPTIC"S KADDISH W3 #195...MEMENTO

transforming into a hippy

a big life change and so
different

from the harbourside to the bush
a down to basics life
for sure

miss glamourpuss does washing day
the cows mooing so softly
outside

a peaceful life in the bush
no longer happening
right now

so back to the city again
the bush a memory
long gone

a contrast in different settings
city life country life
both good

TANKA TUESDAY NO 48...SYLLABIC POEM 4 2 4 2 3

OK

MLMM MONDAY WORDLE # 460

 

only pattern twins front course prefer outfit  please since blue fine surprise

of course this will be
the finest coronation surprise
since napoleon's
i prefer a yellow outfit

not blue with a pattern of gold
on the front only if you please
charles and i could never be misaken for twins
because i am far more regal and better looking

Denmark

 with the money
he gets from the sale of california
he could buy the serpentine and hyde park
it would make a very nice golf course

he likes staying at buckingham palace
he’s a good friend of king charles
and he’s getting some great ideas
for his own bigger and better coronation
coming up soon
all those danish pastries are having an effect

when it's time to leave
i hope i go to a place 
full of love and joy
where i will find rest and peace 
with a choir of angels

Will was right
the devils are here
amongst us
causing grief
satan is alive thriving
on hate and warfare

dear Lord
please grant us peace
on this beautiful earth
which you have gifted to us all
with love

MLMM Moday Wordle # 459

 

left duplicated right dark top beam insult final cherished reminiscent  world dusted

right that's it
this is the final insult
i'm copping from you
no more duplicated
ongoing trauma
all done and dusted now
only one thing left
to do
banish dark thougths
of topping yourself
enjoy the natural world
beam smiles reminiscent
of cherished moments
have fun 

Whats Going On....Letting Go

SHADORMA

letting go's
difficult but it's 
worse holding
on to a
relationship steeped in pain 
best leave go go go

CINQUAIN

facing
reality
is very difficult
we lie to ourselves a lot of
the time

TANKA TUESDAY CHALLENGE NO 46...PUENTE POEM....... FRIDAY WRITINGS # 209

START WHERE YOU ARE
Where I'm at? Not a good place at the moment

USE WHAT YOU HAVE
I have a poem that I wrote which hopefully brings a smile

DO WHAT YOU CAN
to bring a little cheer .

it is... but they are referring to the weather !

My world like the real one is not a fun place at the moment

they strum their guitars
all day and all through the night 
keeping us awake

we are allergic
to caterwauling folk songs
tis a cat's nightmare

MLMM MONDAY WORDLE # 458

WIPED CLEAR FELT CHAPTER FIFTY  PRECIOUS MUTED SPARKLER CUP MESSAGE WATCHED DRAMA

fifty precious lives lost
the drama watched world wide
on the news
all of us felt sadness  with so many
young ones muted wiped out forever
caused by an inferno
started by sparklers in bottles and cups
a horror chapter in swiss history
a clear message now sent about heeding
fire regulations and building codes

FRIDAY WRITINGS # 208

it was not the same this year
a sombre feeling pervaded the air 
in spite of all the merriment efforts
the bondi massacre has left its mark
it will take a while for those of us
who live nearby to recover
and now
courtesy of the ginger meggs psycho
we have the caracas moment
a different kind of fireworks
2026
not off to a great start
