freeway mania...

It is now 10:07am on Sunday morning...
I still hear the traffic whirr on the Mornington Peninsula freeway...but not so intense and loud as yesterday...

a man still tends his garden
for more tomorrows#haiku #micropoetry pic.twitter.com/8HC8ET55vz

your hands softly play...

your hands softly play
the notes I have never heard
your music spills tears
on yesterday's craggy streets
masked in what could have been#TankaThursday #tanka

I need music...

I need music
in my morning
to whiten
the dark side
of you

in our dreaming...

heaven is the enchanted earth
of our story

tucked in an armchair...

tucked in an armchair
watching your Coast New Zealand
tender rain outside#haiku pic.twitter.com/mI9NNtWPxf
