as my songlines shift to a later phase...

as my songlines shift
to a later phase
I feel quite content
keeping my bars on track
listening to my own voices
and resonating with
my own notes#micropoetry

negative and positive thoughts...

negative thoughts are
passing, frothy, smoky clouds
born to dissolve

positive thoughts are
loyal, lasting friends of
a healthy spirit#haiku https://t.co/9bIpNNXBLG

the spirit of art...

the spirit of art
is in
the art of the spirit#haiku

📷 2023 - Temora - A year ago, I returned to my childhood dream of sketching and painting....though I completed little in those days ...I never wanted to copy others...I wanted to be different...Just me...
