I’ve been in a semi-homesick state for a few months now, which is dumb, because I am home most of the time. But in what I guess is the pit of my stomach, mixing it up with various enzymes and comistibles, is a tightly tangled ball something I can best describe as homesickness. Or maybe wistfulness? Nostalgia? Homewistalgia? I don’t need a psychotherapist to tell me the reasons why – […]
I sit by the ocean I sit by the sea. I’m watching the waves and the waves they watch me. They give and then give; they take and then take. They whisper and ripple, they roar and they quake. What’s in the whisper? What’s in the roar? What makes me stay with my feet on the shore? I don’t mind the sand, I like the gulls’ cry. I love a […]
There is so much bad news. I’ve not commented on much of it because frankly I’ve been suffering from a case of can’t-stomach-it-head-in-sandness. I’ve been feeling a bit over-sensitive lately, I’m not totally sure why – overtired? Hormonal? Seasonally Affected (bloody Tassie winters)? Bad news burnout? All of the above? I know – poor me, call the waaaambulance. First world problems. I decided, when I teared up while watching The Bachelor […]
I’m sorry for being grumpy. Now I feel all lumpy In my throat with sobs, That heat my eyes and throb, Against my chest I hold, My tongue and I unfold, My arms to you, to mend But too late, you won’t bend. The evening now is ruined, And I see I am fluent, In the secret language Of ‘tip him off the edge’. ~ Just know that nothing works […]
I think I’m going to shout again, Or maybe I will cry, While three annoying little shits, Refuse to eat their pie. I haven’t baked in any carrot, Or sneaky peas or beans, Forget the goodness, just fill up, Or else I’ll have to scream. No don’t just eat the pastry bits, You have to have some meat, Come on you bogans have a bite, And you might get a […]
Remember those late summer days, with the hum Of insects and shimmering heat and that sun That low golden, ‘I’m in love’ sun? Remember the songs we could hear in the trees, The scent of hot grass and the warm salted breeze, That thistledown-wish laden breeze? Remember the lemonade smile on your face, The knowing that we all belong in this place, This dearly-held, storybook place? Remember the stepping of […]
Will you colour me in, I feel a bit bland? Could you draw a big smile, Put a flower in my hand? Will you cover the tired You see in my eyes? Put some pink in my cheeks And some blue in my skies? I’d like a striped dress And a large yellow hat A polka dot purse And a fluffy white cat. Oh please colour me in, Your crayons […]
I am going to write a book, Design a fashion line, I am going to study French, Create a sparkling wine. I’d really like to buy a horse And learn to figure skate, And oh I’d like to make a frame From bits of broken plate. I am going to learn to surf, And grow a veggie patch, Then I might see how I would do In a boxing match. […]
