About Me

My photo
Hello there from sunny Nth Qld in Australia...the luckiest country on the planet AT THE MOMENT! I'm retired and recently widowed. I love to travel . Airplane, boat, walking but mostly by means of my motorcycle. I love to garden too. I have a wee small doggie named George and an old cat named Kitty. Two years on from Tim passing we three have almost sorted out living without him. I think it will be 'almost' forever more.Can't see me being over it completely if you know what I mean. I intend to fill these blogs with my journey on my bike.Too much has happened in the space between today and my last blog. This is my last ditch effort to revive my creative writing skills.

Grand Opening

It’s cool. Stars are still visible in the black moonless pre-dawn. A light dew has formed in the chill of the night.
Today will be my first display- an unfolding-a fragrant exhibition
For all the world to see and rejoice.

At last the sun has warmed my petals
And encouraged me to stretch and open.
The dew now gone I bask
In the strong heat of the noon day sunshine.

Oh how beautiful I am!
See my vibrant gold-
Sniff my subtle scent.
Marvel in my magnificence.

It’s cooler now-the sun has faded.
There’s only the light from the galley window
My only stage for an encore
Oh I did make a grand opening – Me a rose!
