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.

Island-born river girl ...

Island-born river girl, boat-lover,

I laze aboard on this sunny day

both warm and breezy. 


Son and daughter on deck 

have their heads together, 

breathing in the view.


The hours slip by. We forget 

that anywhere there’s war,

that anywhere has earthquakes.
