Retired HS teacher,(urban areas), now loving my daily rural whirl in the creative life of writing - mainly haiku and tanka. I'm also developing a love of sketching and painting plus being involved in community creative projects. Life's great for the soul.

breathe #delight when a flash mob

two teenage sisters
walk their two Christmas gift dogs
into a New Year
the sisters share joy
a shared #dream pads beside them
all learning the road

what if intimate haiku
may help autistics
may help autistics
express emotions
could psychologists
present sensitive haiku
to autistic ones
could psychologists
let the autistic select
connecting haiku
to open a chat
about the client's feelings
without confusion

she knows not of #Mars
ancient Roman god of war
whether near or far
her #struggles will again be ignored
by a world who is still sending bombs
this poet prays you #survive
sweet goddess of undeserved scars

my worn leather shoes
each scuff is my storyline
wedged fast in the #sole

measure my life not in time

Chat GPT reflected on my meanderings in 2025.
Love it!
You spun gold from Temora’s bright ground—
Each haiku a shimmer, profound.
With canola and sky,
Your year dared to try—
Where art, word, and heart intertwined, unbound.
P.S. NO! I did not copy from Chat GPT. It spun ideas for me only.
Love it!

the gloom of world news
peoples' lives are being bombed
out of existence
perhaps urban #air's
riddled with unseen toxins
but still I'm breathing

the Christmas bustle
and blare of children's
over-excited voices
can yield
sensory clutter
to decompress
next day
take a little time
to step away
and #shoot
some ephemeral
small thing
a passing glimpse
of Nature's gift
and then
a Christmas memory
has a special seal

today is a thoughtful day
away from the Christmas bustle
dreaming of Christmas past
(just a few in particular)
dreaming of walks by the bay
and watching the waters
ripple to shore
but most of all
just dreaming
Christmas is not so lonely...

I feel #humble when I realise
that in this moment
in this heatwave moment
all I thirst for
all I need
and want
is the gift of rain
