Sewing?
Not my forte,
definitely not.
I can’t darn
I can’t knit
I certainly can’t crochet.
What can I do?
Well, I can turn up my jeans
as I’m rather short.
You see, I’m a writer
…and so
it doesn’t matter what I wear!

vibrant, that’s what we want
magnificent, such flare

is all

a flash of light
then darkness
my moon, my wonderful moon
where is she?
her name is Selene
and she’s captivating
she can be huge, and brilliant
or far, far away
but she’s always mine
but now she’s red, blood red
is she angry?

Total lunar eclipse 3/14/25, showcasing the captivating reddish glow of a blood moon against the dark night sky. Just a bit of white at the top! The stars dot the black background on a very clear night!

I never had a Barbie and certainly not a Ken.
I never liked dolls in anyway at all.
I even found them a little scary in fact.
But now I’m thinking that Barbie and Ken
might be quite useful,
in some way or another?

he’s daydreaming
and there’s nothing wrong with that
he shakes his head
but he’s as bright as a button
you’d see him walking around
doing a handstand if he wanted to
but mostly he would sit in the middle
watching the bridge
and contemplating

ahh cherry blossoms
beautiful and lingering
known as sakura
flowers are dainty
while trees are magnificent
both together is hope
but meanwhile something else is happening:
cherries are blushing
bountiful and delicious
how many can we eat?
these are so sweet
more than delightful!

she’s a pretty girl, isn’t she
just like her dad too
they walk along the beach
just the two of them
it’s warm and mellow
only a little breeze
which wafts merrily over the sea
just waves and waves
rolling back and forward
ceaselessly

Wow, he’s big
and beautiful,
regal too.
Staring out
on the gate,
what’s he thinking?
He’s hardly moving,
what’s going on
in his mind? (anything?)
I’m getting closer,
can I pet him??
ah – he’s purring!
That’s enough though.
He climbs down,
walking with purpose.

it’s bleak
no sign of life
it’s stark
and yet, the colours are magnificent
it glares white
livid, and burning beneath
and yet, it’s beautiful
huge dunes rise up
is there anyone there?
but there’s no-one
so do we know whether the dunes move?

there are many things
it can be very pleasant
but not my last name
please don’t mention ‘Hall’
and now don’t get my into
so many issues
it’s just a bit odd
so let me be calm, and breathe
incense, lingering
that’s much better
~~~
PS – my last name, Hall, sounds very similar to the word ‘hol’ in Afrikaans, and it’s rather rude.
Let’s just say it’s called ‘bottom’.
