Caffeine is bad for you, fat is bad for you, sugar is bad for you. But don't worry, because worrying is bad for you too. 🤔

Forever

Clouds clash, bringing rain.
Crops grow, giving grain.
Hearts crash, bringing pain.
Life falls, to rise again.

Crimson Faith

Losing my faith
in all of humanity.
Shedding of blood
Sowing of hatred
Our blood is all
crimson in color
of many shades
our beautiful skin
We need to spread seeds
of
kindness and not more
of hate.

Vignette of the Shoalhaven

On dry sand
the old boatshed
leans on its shadow.

Short Poem of the Day 📝

Aimless

Exhaling
breath of
an anarchist
despite chaos.
I still inhale
Pouting Roses

Ignited burning hearts
now adrift coolish stare
the journey ends
finding...
sad petals and pouting
roses.

on the plane ride home
sunset rides the wing,

They say love is blind
but for the truly blind
they love with no looks
they love with their heart,
mind and emotions;
and that is true love.

Short Poem of the Day 📝

Between Root and Wings

your black eyes
underneath the lap
of soft soil escaped
all flowers gouged
out of sky like wings
I had never soul
but life so full of sky

Sound and Vision

With bright beauty and illusion,
TV is colorful confusion.
Radio's voice is a different Kind,
finding its truth inside the mind.

Short Poem of the Day 📝

Fear in the air.
Bombs, rockets
and bullets everywhere.
We breathe death
yet we dare to dream.

Short Poem of the Day 📝

Mediation

The grove kept us dry,
subtracting from
the shower much
immediacy:

but then distracted us
for hours, dropping
snaps faint as the twigs
of someone coming.

The Japanese Lunch

The Japanese lunch
Has taken over,
For who can argue
With culinary grace
While the rude
Patron contrasts so
Deliciously with the food.

B. W. Shearer

Short Poem / Day 📝

Crow in Car Park

From a power pole set in black bitumen,
His jagged bleating reminds me,
Of parched paddocks.

What better place to deliver his dark eulogy,
Than from the cross-beamed comfort,
Of his suburban strainer post.

Tim Edwards
