there is beauty here
a verse to a basic function
contribute to care
A few likes on the ‘patent application’ verse have obviously gone to my head.
I saw this beauty this morning on my walk to the cafe for morning tea and could not resist. Springvale’s finest.
Public dunnies that are shared by everyone are often left in a disgraceful state. This patent offers a unique form of public health protection.
‘lectric dunny seat
shocks many upstanding gents
turns the sprinkler off
This week an older client showed me a humorous Aussie book from the sixties. It clearly affected my judgement.
Pre-tested at minimistalism.
before you break through
you climb via glassy stares
look out stilettos
hidden in drawers
a million odd things lost to time
waiting to be useful
always feel awkward?
try WD-40 perfume
free up inner charm
pick unleavened tread
get leavening agent from trunk
wait for car to rise

Oktoberfest Pt I
free entertainment
the breeze dances with the sun

Oktoberfest Pt II
free entertainment
the lightning plays in the rain
flowers shine brighter
I yearn for tai hu
a side effect of photos
homesickness-in-law
In a way it is gratifying to see that the Wiki_pics in the link below are not much better than mine. But photos never seem to do justice to Tai Hu.
searching for wisdom
a googlehead of info

bold plastic flowers
displacing nature's beauty

grace notes of nature
the sun, a pilgrim through clouds

not a james bond villain
just toenails that think they’re knives
end of the road shoes
Sort of inspired by Jeff Cann’s mention of old shoes in

oxalis is shameful
say pretty purple glabra
flowered wood sorrel
Some will say “That’s pink!”
Let’s call it scansion.
burrow for nectar
in the bitter oxalis
triumph little bee
How green were my glasses
freesias in the lawn
showing more pluck than cunning
ward off the mower

a rose to match carl’s
although a season apart
his night makes my day
Haiku in response to
‘A rose At Night’
by Carl Setzer
a gift of haiku
to view nature with clean eyes
to see life as new.
never as famous
a ”where’s wally” of senryū
meaning hard to find
lost in reflection
On an optimistic day, that last line might read:
meaning fun to find
return to reflection
I met a lost friend
what did you do with your life
{ thinks to self }
does senryu count?
Daydreaming
magic is hard work
so we leave lidl id to do it
id makes it work
...
The sleepy worker
superego asleep
id happily sighs job done
ego stretches out
...
A kind of reconciliation
who's best at mocking
says id to superego
let's all have a laugh
...
Id thinks it's funny
id says now that's humour
superego blurts out you're a dill
ego laughs alone
...
It's not funny
congrats on your jokes
superego yells 'rubbish!'
grabs whip but shouts 'more!'
~ well, sigmund, I like them ~
A kind of eulogy
reprobate v reformed
stark history v storied hero
miscreant v mentor

recall can be tricky
like pulling stewed plums from a hat
with purple blooming
crafty old hands
beg for more warmth from the sun
get a stone grey reply
sacred kingfishers
have come back from somewhere north
visceral spring is here
where is that firefly
faint on this bridge in moon light
becomingly modest
A friend told me that they misread ‘faint’ as ‘paint on this bridge…’, which I rather like.
