Sun beats down on golden sand,Barbies sizzle, drinks in hand.Kookaburras laugh from gumtree top,While children splash and never stop. Santa swaps his coat for shorts,Trading sleighs for Aussie sports.Cool drinks clink and laughter sings,As cicadas hum their sunny strings. Wreaths of eucalyptus, bright and green,Deck the halls in a summer scene.Surfboards rest by the ocean’s… Continue reading Christmas & New Years: A Poem
Cold bites deep, a sudden bite,The earth exhales damp, heavy air,Leaves crack and snap beneath my flight. Frosty breath cuts thin and bright,Pine sharpens scents with bitter flare,Cold bites deep, a sudden bite. Chill threads weave a quiet rite.Breath hangs white and vanishes there,Leaves crack and snap beneath my flight. Rot and sweetness twist, contrite,Sour… Continue reading Autumn No More: A Poem
You rise again, hanging quiet in the dark, as you always do: Watching. Waiting. Listening. You don't knock. Never have. I feel your eyes: Patient. Waiting. I never ask if you have time. You always do. Even when the night is crowded, and others talk, you leave a little space for me. I speak softly… Continue reading My Confidant: A Poem
I searched for love in places worn and widein books and cafés, and in strangers' eyes.A restless heart with far too much to hide,I chased a spark beneath the lonely skies. I sent my words like messages in flight,half-hopeful texts I hoped would somehow land.Each read or left unread, a fading light,the silence digging deep… Continue reading Eternal Love: A Poem
In the dead of night, when even stars seem to fade, a faint glow lingers. Not loud, not bright, but stubborn, unyielding. The lantern glows softly. It doesn’t fight the shadows, doesn’t shatter the silence, doesn’t promise a clear path. A quiet presence, a soft pulse beneath all that was lost. It hums beneath the… Continue reading The Lantern: A Poem
They all say "it will be beautiful" but no one said how silence can deafen. . A routine appointment turned into so much more. Meeting you early was not the plan. . I was a storm of questions, belly stretched tight. What if I break? What if you do? Why can I no longer keep… Continue reading Learning How To Breathe: A Poem
It is the year that I am truly challenging myself. This time it's with acrostic poetry - definitely not my forte, but it was fun to give it a go! Acrostic poetry is a form of verse where the initial letters of each line, when read vertically, spell out a word or message. The theme… Continue reading Acrostic Poetry
No one wants it, more for me, Tang and crunch I eat with glee. A simple pleasure, a tasty treat. Salty and sour, there is no sweet, The purple bag is mine alone, No one understands the flavor zone. Salt and vinegar, flavor divine, Each crunch is oh so fine. Every chip brings savory delight,… Continue reading Savoring Tangy Temptations: A Poem
In this year of challenging myself, I have given an inverse poem a go! I found this style of poetry incredibly difficult to do. It took a lot of writing and re-writing but I think I managed to encapsulate the style! An inverse poem is a form of poetry where the lines or words can… Continue reading Unbridled Minds – A Symphony of ADHD: A Poem
Amidst the whispers of the night, Blossoming love in soft moonlight. Caressed in shadows, love takes flight. . Dancing hearts, a gentle sway, Echoes of a serenade play. Fluttering feelings here to stay. . Gentle whispers of a love so right, Harmony resonates, a sweet delight. Intertwined hearts, souls so bright. . Journeying through the… Continue reading Feelings of Love: A Poem
