the Christmas bustle and blare of children's over-excited voices can yield sensory clutter to decompress next day take a little time to step away and #shoot some ephemeral small thing a passing glimpse of Nature's gift and then a Christmas memory has a special seal #vss365 #micropoetry

Australia's #mischief season's based on numerators and denominators numerators are vicious storms and icy winds chilled sunlight and rain denominators thrive on stilled silence or mist minor shifts from cold winter party games when winter wields her freedom and most hide indoors #vss365 #haiku

it's another grey day of soft grey clouds soft mist soft rain showers and occasional soft winds a grand excuse to suffer the biting cold wrapped in a heated throw and wander other worlds writing reading and maybe the unplanned afternoon nap by #happenstance a kitten paperweight #vss365 #poetry
