a cloak for 'no go' Sunday...

today is my 'no go' Sunday my precious day of blissfully drifting from nothing much to nothing at all today is verified by cantankerous winds tantrums that never seem exhausted so I advise myself to stay inside don my #cloak of many dreams and many philosophies and just play #vss365

little wattlebird - Boxing Day 2017

feisty and mouthy

a sprightly pocket full of

stripey feathers

commonly visits 

in our hot Christmas season

loves red banksias

insects and berries

even seeds are staple food

but sweet nectar wins

little wattlebird

boasts no glamorous plumage

yet thrilling dancer

dreamscapes...

dreamscapes
may be born of fleeting
enchanting reality#haiku
