I really love this poem written by Canberra poet and writer, Wormsie. Wormsie writes about daily life, the natural world and our place in it, and the challenges ahead. Check her out.
The sun sits in leaky splendour; watermelon juice staining this upholstery this smog brown décor this Faberge sunset this velveteen smoke haze. A cloying choice but here we all sit in our plush living room our shrine of consecrated ignorance and listen to the clock and the crackle roar of our future.

Thank you so much! And I love my Aussified handle. I can’t believe I didn’t think of “Wormsie” myself! It’s genius. Well, to be honest, I didn’t think of Worms either. 🙂

Oh me too! And a prose-writer! And a photographer! And she’s knowledgeable on music and plants and birds. And i love her mosaics and artwork. All in all, there’s much to be admired.

Oh, those things she is well known for in the blogosphere! Admittedly so much to admire and learn.
She underplays her poetry though!

I guess we’re all part of a team, when you put it that way. 🙂. I mean if we were called to make a speech and receive an award we’d thank lots of people.
