Butterfly Boy Why do you despise my wings when all they want to do is fly from old grey skies to blue to new blue skies that went grey for you

So when I started this poem, I wanted it to be about #friendship ... and I suppose it still is but it also became a #lovepoem to the love of my life - the best friend I will ever have. #love #loveislove #lovestory #pridemonth #Pride #pride2024 #PrideMonth2024 #poetry

I've just received the hardback proof for my upcoming children's picture book #TheKlangaroo and I couldn't be more proud. It looks and feels so good in more ways than one. #eyfs #kidlit #picturebook #kangaroo #poems4kids

Sometimes you lose your roar
Sometimes your dreams aren’t shining 
But do not fear
for every cloud 
has a silver lion in 😜

Happy #HaikuSaturday
I'm afraid I still can't write Haiku without turning it to #tanka

#vss365 #haikufeels #haiku #micropoetry #clockschange #clocksgoforward
Tonight the clocks change
the birds and the bees don’t care
nor worms or flowers
for each live in the moment
unaware of our hours

She knows the riddles of roaches the secrets of centipedes they crawl across her finger garden visits on hands and knees crawling bugs and bumble bees she created a home outdoors

Binging! #poetry

Binging
 
I binge-watch other people’s dreams
I binge-watch other’s sorrow
So I don’t have to binge-watch Me
or stream My Sad Tomorrows
