Roots of the Deviant Soul - male voice + guitar

Roots of the Deviant Soul - female voice + piano

in the ageless woods...

in the ageless woods, a crow with ragged feathers watched with ink-well eyes a #savant who knew futures stalked that luck was life's pendulum it sought scattered things a child’s ribbon, ring, a bone, laid them on a cairn tokens for the brave to read to risk it's their fate #vss365 #tanka

the meaning of distractions...

 

My daughter's beautiful dog Bella is always alert...

Distractions are often not mere distractions but may emerge as worthwhile cautions...

I have taken a leaf from her guru diary...

Lately I have not been writing poetry, daily, but more time consuming mini drama scripts...

They are based on Temora's Urban Myths using Bill Speirs publication...

Who knows where this distraction may lead, 

but initially, the script will be used on 31st October 

in my special Temora exhibition of art then and now...

where arts communicate and create a special ecosystem of want and need...

fishing for poetry...

In recent days

I have realised that perhaps I have been fishing for poetry in the wrong way...

What if I mix up a stew of poetic ideas on ChatGPT, 

then sort it out into tanka or haiku

or both

and then ask ChatGPT to create a silhouette response to my final poem

DIFFERENT

P.S. The guy above is not fishing. He is cleaning his backyard pool in Dromana.

I guess that idea fits this post too.

as day turns to night...

as day turns to night a #prism filters colours a farewell hurrah and stars come to light endless galactic questions tease the star gazers too distant for clear answers yet near enough for wonder #vss365 #haiku #tanka #poetry

some days you visit...

some days you visit before sunlight fully stirs and my coffee's brewed but the sound of winged laughter and that knowing gleam in your bright gaze never fail to bewitch me #micropoetry #poetry
