Marbled Mélange
Lovers
I’m determined to get some flower photos onto my blog. They seem to need a little poetry to go with them. Nature to zing by. Not that I would know. Read more
Until Tomorrow
A small poem written in support of the Ragtag Daily Prompt team who are continuing to provide prompts over the Christmas/New Year period.
Jusqu’à Demain
la belle rose charmante
deliciously resplendent
perfumes the air
from faded glory life
petals without thorns Read more
King Of The Flies
I forgot to include this photo of a beautiful fly in my November Changing Seasons post. You know the weather is warming up when the blow flies come a-visiting. Maybe these exquisitely beautiful creatures are not such a pain after all. Unlikely praise for the king of the flies. Read more

Which Way Home?
Dear Readers, I thought I would use the opportunity of participating in Cee’s Which Way Challenge, to present a few more of my holiday snaps. I got a little carried away as I was having way too much fun putting them together to tell a little story. I hope you like it. Read more
Italian and Then Some
This is my response to the Ragtag Daily Prompt of 21 June 2018 — Italian.
Some of you may know that I have recently joined a Bush Poetry group. As this month’s theme for my Group is “Italian” and as I’ve only so much time, I thought “Italian” would make a good Ragtag Daily Prompt as well (it’s my day to be the Prompter). For those interested in contributing their own post on the Italian theme, please click the hyperlink above for instructions on how to take part.
Bush poetry is a style of poetry that depicts the life, character and scenery of Australia, employing a straightforward rhyme structure. It uses language that is colourful, colloquial and idiomatically Australian. Well, I’m new to bush poetry or any poetry, so I found it difficult to write a poem in that style, consistent with the theme, but here is my attempt. My poem (below), “Italian and Then Some”, is about the experience of Italian migrants in Australia under the White Australia Policy. Read more
