SHADORMA

 butcher bird

 aussie favourite

 beautiful

 sweet song bird

something to cling on to in

this sad troubled world

FRIDAY WRITINGS....POETS AND STORYTELLERS UNITED

while the world crumbles around us

the magnificence

that humanity is capable of creating

still shines through

if man

is made in the image of God

then this music and performance

is certainly a testament to that

Deo Gratias

R.Vaughan Williams Oboe Concerto in A minor

 

TANKA TUESDAY....WHATS GOING ON

 takes me back to youth

 starting out in woodwind land

 wide eyed ingenue

 twas the golden oboe age 

all gone now makes me too sad

Friday Writings # 152

CINQUAIN

 oh no

don't hold your breath

tough times awaiting us

four long years are looming ahead

good luck

there was a guy so weird

who goosed the statue of liberty

without fear

he said god chose him 

cos he was the best

as millions of americans

seem to attest

TANKA TUESDAY...SYNONYMS

 

TANKA

you were my dear friend

always so reassuring

during those sad years

you never gave me a pledge

to stay and i thought you would

Tanka Tuesday

 happy halloween

if you like witches and ghosts

spooks are not for me

gladly not part of my life

and not part of my culture

Tankas

many years ago

cute little girls wore dresses

ribbons in their hair

it's been half a century

since she's worn a pretty dress

technology rules

our world has changed forever

we have lost a lot

tech advantage at a cost

maybe the costs are too high

we learnt french at school

it was a good fun lesson

with madame mercier

it would have been more fun if

she had taught us words like this

a box of darkness

an unwanted gift for sure

you are wrong mary

this person was a toxin

and not worthy of your love
