April blogging
brings May dogging
first post since the end
time to begin again
reflection
last minute decision to join
felt proud to complete
met lots of people who were neat
never meant to write in prose
followed my nose
it was easy
when I just trusted
each day would arrive
with a bit of not knowing
the excitement of growing
some days i had it in advance
other days not a chance
Thank-you
for the invitation to play
Thank-you for reading me
Thank-you for heeding me
Thank-you for the cool logo
Thank-you for helping me find my April Mojo
On reflection
whether I would wade in again
weather permitting
Z is for Zebra
Zebra
Zebra’s are Black & White
We remember in colour
We forget in Black & White
We create in colour
We destroy in Black & white
We dance in colour
We freeze in Black & White
We sing in colour
We rage in Black & white
We love in colour
We hate in black & white
We bounce joyfully in colour
We recoil with sadness in Black & White
We live in colour
We die in black & white
Thankfully we are
Colourful
Y is for Yearn
To Yearn
longing for
the urge that wells up inside
overflowing with desire
I ignore the nay sayers
the grumpy one
those that gave up believing a long time ago
i search for other’s
a shared look
word
sentance
where i feel your yearn
and know my yearn is
safe
in your heart
where all yearns begin
and end
X is for Xenophobia
Xenophobia
I see magic in the hat
I see the
xenophobia
I mean Rabbit
in the hat
coming out
of the hat
coming out
is magic
it is where the fun begins
and the hiding ends
who has you by the scuff of the neck?
wriggle your nose
wriggle your toes
wriggle your tail
Be Free
Be Me
I mean
Be YOU
W is for Wish
Wish
Wish upon the wind
The kiss of the wind
Bursting to be seeds
seed of wishes
kisses of hope
kisses of possibility
wishes to be sown seeds
Ready to be blown seeds
Nature
Naturally
Exploding her bounty
Wish Away
V is for Velvet
Velvet
Sitting so smugly
with my new treasure
that bestest ever
Christmas day morn
Me, ever so precious
in my little girl
velvet church dress
clutching my bundle
of soft furry squirm
Pooling my puppy
in my lap
of my emerald velvet dress
feeling it grow
warm
and dark
as the puddle spread
U is for Undertoad
Ode to the Undertoad
inspired by “The World According to Garp” by John Irving
You lay
lurking
living to attack
destroy
any semblance of peace
Joy
Beauty
Your one purpose in life
is to attack and
terrify
the good that floats
on the very surface
that you endevour to attach your tendrils to
YOU
or the story of You
will not stop me
from diving down deep
and deeper
to see the beauty and aliveness
that lingers and luxuriates
below
below the surface
Too
