This is my first poem for 2023. If you have any feedback (good or bad) I’d love to hear it.

Prompt: Christopher Burket “Forest Light, Colorado”
(USA) 2006

Ye, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death …
No.
Stop.
There is no valley here,
Nor shadow,
Nor death
That holds a light to that which I see before me –
Tall trees;
Golden light;
Cool, aching breeze against my cheek
That reminds me
Of all the promises
Dropped like leaves
From broken branches
Onto the decaying souls
Of yesterday’s summer
While fresh life springs forth,
Against odds
And autumn’s steady march
Into that cold winter gloom,
High above the world –
Verdant and new
Atop the slender legs of arboreal giants
Who wait for no man
Nor beast,
Nor dark deity painted white,
As they reach
To worship a sun
That regards theirs existence
As the elephant regards the ant.

I’m excited that the group I’m in has started up again this week. I’ve been very lazy over the Christmas / New Year period about writing anything new so it’s good to have some external accountability and validation.

Shout out to any looking for poetry, I have many ready to go for multiple books (both published on my blog and unpublished) so please reach out if you’re interested.

Some people love their time in the military, others do not. I’ve known people in both camps. I know people who still serve. This won’t reflect everyone’s perspective, it’s just one perspective.

Let me know what you think, especially if you’re current or former military.

I wrote this just as before the summer of 2020/2021 in Australia. The summer before had been horrific and this was for all the firefighters (paid and volunteers) and those who lived through the bushfires defending homes, buildings, livestock and loved ones. This summer has been much milder but the fear of another like 2019/2020 hangs over everyone, especially those who live close to fire prone areas.

If you have a moment, please read the full poem.

day 24, edition is Wild Peach by S*an D Henry-Smith, a poetry text which defamiliarizes the "natural" with generous helpings of love and magic.

belated day 23, edition is [...] by Ava Hoffman –– Hoffman's visually and topically experimental poetry book toys with expectations of legibility levied on trans narratives. This is , recoded.

Day 24 of . It wouldn’t be Australia without a spider reference so, as an averred arachnophobe, this is as close as I’ll get - the empty web!

The poem is “A Letter to Myself” and I hope it resonates with you.

Day 23 of is a recent shot, literally taken a couple of days ago. I love my city, I just wish it wasn’t filled with people when I want to take photos 😂

The poem is “Requiem for a Society” and while I haven’t put a on this post as a whole, I will suggest a CW for the poem as it deals with mental health (I’ve struggled with whether to say exactly what the issue is because I don’t want to ruin the end but I don’t want to upset anyone either). Maybe send me a private toot if you’re unsure about whether you want to read it.

As always, let me know what you think, or what you’d like to see/read in the future.

Day 22 of is this iconic Sydney feature - the coat hanger is a beautiful old girl.

The poem is “a slow rain” for anyone who doesn’t live in the big smoke.

It’s nearly the end of , we’re up to Day 21: sunrise reflections.

The poem: Sonnet Redoublé (in name and in style) - this is where you write connected sonnets, and the final sonnet is made up of the starting lines of all the previous sonnets.

Let me know what you think (if I keep asking maybe someone will 🤷🏼‍♀️).

Can’t believe we’re up to Day 19 of the … so here’s a cool shell.

The poem for today is entitled “My Birthday” …now, it’s not my birthday yet, you’ve got just over 2 weeks for that, but something to keep in mind 😂😊🥳

Yes, a joke, so absurd!

Yet I’d rather die, one evening, under the pale rose

red sky, cracking a good joke in a good cause!

- Oh! Struck by whoever’s is the noblest sword,

and an enemy we know is worthy of ours,

on a field of glory, far from the sickbed’s eclipse,

to die of a thrust to the heart, with one on my lips!

Day 15 of the is here: these are the natural colours of these plants. Sometimes I feel like the yellow flowers, sometimes I feel like the grey leaves. Today is a grey leaves day.

The poem for today is entitled “Today” and is about decisions, which I am feeling very much.

As always, asking you to not only favourite and boost, but let me know what it was you liked because the void might be vast but it is also silent.

Bit late in the day here in Oz but just managing to sneak in Day 14 of the !

I love sports photography because of shots like this. It is a moment in time captured forever. I think this shot is more powerful than a video of the same play would be.

The poem I’ve chose is related. It’s called “Dragons in the Outfield” and was written based on my experience as a softball mum, a sports coach and an elite athlete.

Day 12 of is here and I’d love to hear what you think about the image/s or poem.

The poem is called “Her Fabrics” and I hope that any of the crafty people (and anyone who knows someone crafty) will see something in it.
