embark...

a bushwalker or mountain climber may #embark on a carefully planned expedition the bushwalk is long with tangles and tripwires the mountain is tall with hazards both are challenges both have dangers but tortoises #embark on such threats daily just by walking anywhere everywhere #vss365

a teenager's
long red football sock
secretly played with
an innocent
load of whites

can a mere sock#embark on celebrating
a grand final win
by inflicting
its club colours

that goal
is a given
ready or not#vss365 #tanka #haiku

step in to magic...

It is as if the invite to step into a little magic is there for anyone who chooses to pause awhile.
Such mystical wonder... https://t.co/5WKS3emWnb

stormy...

one painter captured Nature's raw energy consistently obsessively J.M.W.Turner chased the experience of Nature's power to paint it in swirling vortexes of bold brush strokes and wild colour #stormy seascapes tantalised possessed his untamed #stormy soul #vss365 #tanka #micropoetry

the mad dash outside
to undress
a clothes line
when wind-blown hail
pelts down

the relief
when
washing
parks dry in
the laundry

this is a #stormy
rock and roll
in full swing
BUT
only one races inside

one lone kookaburra
spins happily
on the now
naked
clothes line#vss365

conflict...

Rover the machine has been programmed to believe it must clean the house systematically without a programme Titan barks and snaps at the mobile machine believing his beloved home is under attack some domestic conflict can be a source of onlookers' respectful humour #vss365 #tanka

on sunny days
your shadow clings
and maybe bonds

but solar time
moulds
its shape

by evening
it is longer
taller than you

but you appear the same

this shape changer
is it your ally or
your #conflict #vss365 #poetry #haiku

marvel...

pre World War II splitting the atom was a global #marvel this knowledge during the war stealthily unzipped chain reaction questions nuclear chain reactions opened the potential power of reactors and the atomic bomb #vss365 #poetry

spectacular sunsets
attract public
spectacular photos
a traditional
predictable #marvel

but a crouching child
absorbed by a snail
and its silvered trail
attracts a personal
impulse #marvel#vss365 #tanka

my soul's secret soliloquy...

my soul's

explore...

all countries need regular assessment and 'medication' the environment is it healthy? then check political and economic growth is it positive? and finally the happiness factor yes difficult to monitor but try so let's begin with the prime country let's carefully #explore ourselves #vss365

a man and his dog
newly moved into
a rural town
on their first walk
of discovery

he notes the map
from A to B
and the designated time

the dog notes the lamp posts
odd gates and smells
his time is timeless

one walk
two views of #explore #vss365 #tanka #haiku
