WHAT'S THIS?

Having been immersed in memoir writing for many months, I decided to write a small poem every day for a year to keep my poetic hand in. I've posted them to Instagram and facebook as written – where, to my amazement, people love them – but on this blog they are sometimes subject to later rewriting.

Today brings another ...

Today brings another visitor, dressed 

in an orange top, the colour of joy,

and a skirt with a geometric pattern, 

squares of orange and turquoise — 

from the op shop, she says, and I say 

of course. We all get our gear

from there. Very good gear, too. 

She’s at home here, knowing she’s free 

to invite herself ... sprawl on the couch

like a comfortable cat, or a sister.
