Sunday Scribblings 2

nurse wilkes
did not tolerate
ditherers

liked helping out writers
using a very persuasive
medical approach
to ensure a happy ending

Kyrielle Sonnet

This tree was said to be the oldest tree in the Amazon ( 5,800 years old)

a wicked act it seems to me
the trees destroyed all gone you see
the loggers came and chopped them down
upset the locals ruin the town

in spite of moans and hot protest
the loggers smirked  chop chop with zest
then came the scuffles fights and frowns
upset the locals ruin the town

angry farmers no more hiring
said get stuffed and came out firing
you can't keep honest good men down
upset the locals ruin the town

a wicked thing it seeks to me
upset the locals ruin the town

For The Weekend

Matthew McDonald ( double bass player ) is the first Australian to ever obtain a principal position in the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, said to be the world's finest. Not bad for a boy from Canberra who started off as a rock musician, on an electric bass guitar.


crossing the bridge
from canberra to berlin

Carpe Diem Haiku Kai

Quick Step Jive

a flower was offered to me
red and rich with  promise
1 step forward

i gave seven sensible reasons
why i should not accept it
2 steps backwards

making light of my refusal
all the while
quick quick 

secretly
wanting so much
to make that flower mine
slow

so we dance round each other

who knows
if we will ever master the steps
and make it to the end

Ides Of March

bewaring the ides of march
