Love prisms
Coloured prisms
Dance within Autumn leaves
Rainbow colours
Shine amidst jewel-like trees
Reflections of my heart
Which skips so light
Sun smiles down upon me
Vanquishing the night
Coloured prisms
Twinkle like newborn stars
Born from distant meteors
Exploding from afar
Love rekindles sleeping heart
Which does now ignite
Sun smiles down upon me
Banishing the…

Sunset in Paradise
Pink
Fades into
Blue
A shaft of crystal light
Slides on through
Boats are parked
Palm trees
Wave
To the strangers
Passing by
Conversations abound
Waters twinkle
Reflecting
The hue
Of the sun
People talk
Sometimes
Laugh
Over a glass of red
Getting a
Glow on
Words overheard
As I sit
And think

Beyond the Walls
Like soldiers they stand
Eyes faced front
Their branding
Proudly displayed
Their fonts
Their logos
Their labels
Tiered
Like exotic
Chandaliers
Or
Tired
Like forgotten
Treasures
From the past
Glasses on the top shelf
A mealie of unbroken
Memories
Chopsticks
Like pick-up-sticks
Peek upended from a pewter mug
Old lollies fill a jar
Leftover…

Traffic
Beckoning fingers -
Signal
Fronds of palm
Chance their arm
Sweet smells -
Surround sound -
Beating...
Like a distant drum
The steady hum...
Of traffic.
Wind swirls -
Mind whirls -
Plane flies
Above...
Flickering black and white
Envoking...
Sepia
From the past.
Like skeletons, rattling...
Dying, to get…

The spirit of Gisborne
Calling all poets!
Calling all scribes!
Give us a story
While we imbibe
From Young Nicks Head,
Across the bay
We admire the first sun
Of the rising day
Grapes sown with heart,
Infuse from the start
Each individual flavour
We carefully savour
The spirit of Gisborne
Its' magical waves
its' wonderful scenery
Upon which we gaze
A place like no other
Like baby to mother
We…

I like yr Ode to Dick Frizzle and I like his 4 Square work and how it was used for an album cover recently. Did you read the article in Metro or North & South or was it NZ Geographic about his 4 Square art?

- hello again! That all sounds great... I'll be away for the next couple of weeks and then I start a course so I'll be off the scene a bit, but I'd love to come on the 27th... I'm extremely (and I mean extremely) shy, so I might chicken out... but I'll try not to! lol cheers Leanne

Rod Wintour said… Thankyou very much for your kind words.
Much appreciated. I am experimenting to see if I can use poetry to express what Aspergers is like as it' seems to interest some people. I will keep practising thankyou
