Gazania

Oh beauty! I didn’t know what they were called. Had them to brighten the narrow patio while we lived overseas for half a dozen years. And now all the memories come flooding back! What I do understand is how the Gazanias and our potted garden distracted me from homesickness. Your latest offering has struck a sentimental chord!

Silly, white parrot… must be a cockatoo. The mirroring effect is staying in my afterthought! Having been on such walks myself…at least there is no white flag of surrender to be had save a squawking bird. In an atypical way that puts things into perspective.

A ,lovely poem if a little on the dark side, raising situations we have all been in at some stage, just asking questions out loud in the hope there is a miracle answer, at least on this occasion a good memory came out of it ( The Bird). Really enjoyed the read

A wonderful poem with a great analogy that speaks to a place that many of us have been and dredges up old feelings and fears. It has a feel of darkness to it but I love the night.

As all great stories of drama extreem passion is accompanied by extreem actions and consequences. A love story well told with great use of names to make it authentic and the end with a most intriguing and thought provoking message

Love how you built up to the end of this poem by creating charters and emotions and then the final line of being left without knowing. And so it is with life itself we build and build and never know. A well constructed write

The most colorful poem. It strikes the imagination and pulls the thoughts through the eye of a needle, expanding into a colonoscope of wonder. This is what poets do.
