I'm getting modernist palm tree vibes.

fisherman’s net~ the mermaid leaves behind a golden seashell #UnknownFairyTales #haiku

3 days of heavy cloud and frequent rain, and I was climbing the walls missing the sun. Don't know how you hardy northern hemisphere folk do it.

Found some magic this morning. Hope you do, too. #SundayMorning

rain on cobblestones~ inside the bookshop a small lamp glowing #haiku

red berry trail... the fairy queen tiptoes past the sleeping fox #UnknownFairyTales #haiku

tethered to the sky the pulse you heard before birth beats in you always

I’ll take a cup of madness with a side of scraggly tree #haikufeels

In case anyone needs to see some blue sky and sun rays. Taken fresh, a few minutes ago.

Last month of summer Suddenly everywhere Dragonflies dancing #Haiku

The sun's light inches Invisible in the grass Dewy spider threads #Haiku

It’s black outside this train. Pinpoints of light slide past. Inside, versions of ourselves drink coffee, do crosswords, type on our phones. Reflected versions copy us, distorted by the window glass - painted with the dust of the train’s travel. A woman stares out at the darkness, and at herself.

So jazzed that my micro "Conversation Piece" is included in this freshly published issue! Here's a link to my story but do check out the whole issue! www.roifaineantpress.com/post/convers...

a field full of flowers wildly overqualified for the job #haiku #poetry

Drifting dreams.

Five phrases about the transitory nature of all things... 1. Nothing is eternal (Farsi) 2. No one’s candle is lit till dawn (Serbian) 3. No evil shall last a hundred years (Spanish) 4. All snowstorms eventually subside (Icelandic) 5. Everything has an end, except the sausage, which has two (German)

raindrop on my hood holding in the cold and dark the moon on the pond

Man on the DLR: Are you prepared for today’s meeting? Woman: No. Man: It’s at 9am. Woman: I know it’s at 9am, Dave. And I remain, unprepared.

Froze my arse off, but managed to capture a glimpse of #aurora in my Connecticut backyard!

just for a moment starlings land in the ash tree the brown keys tremble

stilled waves of bramble creeping out under the hedge frilled edge of the sea

Flitting dragonfly Komorebi glimmering And the sun smiling #Haiku

And last but definitely not least... Me (to a little boy beside me in a cafe who is wearing a yellow coat): Nice coat. Little boy: Thank you. It means when night comes I can hide as a star. Art by Penny Neville Lee. Words by me.

I just posted a hard copy card. I think I allowed enough time for it to arrive on time (yay). But it cost $3.40. Just to post a card 🤯 (not yay).

this morning the snow hosts of impossible bees light in their white wings

Twilight shores

I'm at that stage of my life when I wish I could just become an old witch living in the woods and throwing curses at people who bother me while occasionally helping a someone on their Important Quest with a potion or cup of tea. But I do need internet for things, so there's that.

I just had a go at wrapping a box using the Japanese 'one square of paper with one piece of sticky tape' approach. ...And I may have managed it! Thats it. I've peaked for 2026.

Stopped at a red light Two butterflies cross the road In synchronised flight #Haiku #TrueMoment

We had a ton of overripe bananas so I had a go at banana bread. I've no affinity/skill for baking, I always seem to veer wildly from the recipes despite my best intentions & the oven runs 30-40⁰ hotter than whatever the recipe calls for. End result? Um, they look edible* *waiting for them to cool.

silver after dark the rain we were waiting for falling as moonlight

Magical filter— #Delightful view of the world A New Year's Day gift Happy New Year to all! ✨️ #vss365 #delight #haiku

Heading into the last afternoon of the year. I hope you find your magic next year✨️🙏

stealing a bit of light from the dawn I warm my hands on a memory #haikufeels #haikuish

Fallen leaves drawn into this drain in Mill Hill, make accidental street art. Each piece unique - a veritable gallery of seasonally coincidental creativity.

My BlueSky app says I have a DM but I can't access it until I verify my age (Australian laws re under-16s & social media etc etc). So I have to wade through a whack of fine print and find out exactly how any/all associated third party companies might get to hold onto my data.

They're not with me anymore, but in their memory, wishing you all a merry Christmas full of Treats (and No More Things): dodoaugogo.blogspot.com/2015/12/indi...

So excited that my new story "A Taste of Magic" is included in this newly-released book of uplifting holiday & winter tales! Happy holidays to all! ❤️🎄💚 #booksky

See the single flower hanging upside down by a (spider) thread? #TooMuchSymbolism

Brisbane River. This shot taken in the pre-dawn light. A pedestrian bridge now connects the city to Kangaroo Point. I must get back there to reshoot the new scene... #photography

fog droplets settle on my lashes~ the world is a thousand milky pearls with a silver tree growing at its centre

This reminded me of something I wrote a few years ago. Light. Heavy. www.cedrixclarke.com/2020/09/19/l...

I forgot to move the Elf on the Shelf overnight 🤦‍♀️

On the night-time path Fallen frangipanis sit Glowing like moondrops🌙 #haiku

This is apparently a Garden Mantid. Native to Australia and New Zealand. Isn't she pretty? 💚

There was a huntsman spider in the bedroom tonight. In an inaccessible spot that involved lots of hiding zones, of course. Luckily it moved and I was able to get it into a bucket and outside. But the spider shudders are taking their time to ebb away.
