Friday Writings...# 156

 

70s hippy chick


talk about 

innocents abroad

so many

adventures

scare myself thinking about them

a big thank you

to my guardian angel



travelling deck class across the equator


when i was young

 they told me 

i could do anything

i could be anything

i believed them

don't think they had this in mind


reading a magazine in bed

rather than only finding the time

to do so in a doctor's surgery

is a dream of mine now


at some stage

probably will never happen

i dream of a quiet life

with lots of time on my hands


i want to know what it means 

to be at a loose end

i want to experience the luxury

of being bored

What's Goin On ?..Homecoming

 

she had a home once

she had a life once

 stolen

by cruel circumstances


finding herself alone

devastated and destroyed

she slowly slowly

collected the broken bits

laboriously pieced them together

and like the snail

made them into a little home

she carried on her back


she became

her own homecoming

Tanka Tuesday December 3rd 2024

 In The Time of Java


borobudur, an ancient temple, holding all of the secrets

magical moves, at the sultan's palace, breath taking experience

lovely young men, graceful sultan's dancers, ethereal performers

gamelan chimes, a long time ago now, important part of my life


Borobudur Temple

Friday Writings # 155...May Bite

tis your choice

to bite or not to bite

that is the question

whether it is nobler

to seek revenge or

walk away

 removing  that person

from one's life

blown  like a piece of fluff

from a sleeve 

ay there's the rub



where there's a Will

there's a way

What's Going On...FEAST

 

CINQUAINS

suppose

you're preparing

a feast for thanksgiving

happy thanksgiving to you all

enjoy



always

feast or famine

droughts and or flooding rains

no worries it's the wide brown land

for me
