Australia Day...
Australia Day
— 🇺🇦🌻Gemma Wiseman-on Wiradjuri land (@AuraGem) January 25, 2025
the thrill of blue skies
and hope
for some
the question of clouds
and the beginning of tears
for others
may the tears dry soon#micropoetry pic.twitter.com/oqAOV838Bs
Another side to Australia Day - a spiritual connection without staged fanfare...

I find I'm giving
far less attention to
repetitive duties
and welcome
what I feel like doing
it's 2am + can't sleep
read
I have a fascinating idea
write
great weather = a great walk
wild weather = dare a great walk
my life's a barrel of fortune cookies

mudlark soliloquy...
modelling a black and white number
is easy
but modelling a black and white number well
is quite another matter
I believe I am of the latter category
I practise
and practise
perhaps even in my sleep
that demonstrates how utterly addicted I am
to perfection
but
I have not mentioned yet
that I model in many moods
there is the graceful glide in the air
with elegant speed
there is the catwalk strut
and then there is the
'get off my land' flash
alive with angry beauty
attested to by my accompanying shriek
I enjoy making my mark on the world
and enjoy keeping it that way too
a status quo
my way
no wonder I am honoured with a batch of names
magpie-lark
mudlark
and even
peewit and
peewee
in short
I am the very model of
feathered models

2025 me ..
2025 me
is feeling proud of my life
at last
the shame of feeling less than others
the shame of bowing to the needs of others
and squashing my own
the shame of struggling to find my own voice
and following it confidently
finally
has melted
and the phoenix me
in all its alternative complexities
is rising
once
for a photo shoot
I would have worked my hair
into a controlled shape
(no obvious loose, stray ends)
my smile would be shaky
and probably
if a selfie
my outline would be somewhat blurred
however
this morning
I was feeling creatively alive
different
the photograph is not studied
it is
as is
and I feel happy
