there are times...

there are times when I keep writing 

and writing 

and writing

I have no sound reason why

other than it is addictive

a necessary vitamin for my health that can't be bought

only practised...

in short, it seems to be a natural past time...

just a word on the news

a morning view from my window

a thought of a friend

sparks the daily writing flurry

even the ragged post of old Balnarring pier

inspires me to revisit memories

recycle thoughts

and simply

keep writing

dog in waiting...

a dog in waiting
meditative patience
in unflustered
quiet
regal pose#tanka
