    'Happy Birthd…'
    on the candled cake
    'a' and 'y'
    are in the smug fist
    of the two year old


    sweet things:
    kisses from my granddaughter
    and my sticky cheek


    melting down the cone
    'why is my ice-cream dying?'
    says the two year old

    the black jelly beans
    always went first
    our achievements
    recall the sweet taste
    of our student days

    blowing bubbles
    with coloured chewing gum
    fun for just one penny

    the childhood aroma
    of red indian
    stuck to my mouth
    the simple adult pleasures
    difficult to admit in full

    at the corner shop
    buying Mum's cigarettes
    above my head
    colourful longing
    in the lolly jars

April Challenge

In Australia in April we are deepening into autumn. In Adelaide it is still warm weather. The quinces are ripening on the trees, the shops full of the harvest of summer fruits. Autumn foliage is beginning to appear on the exotic European trees we have planted along our streets. Shops are filling with warm clothes for winter. The car race and the Fringe and Adelaide Festivals have finished bringing to an end the rush of Mad March. The blocked traffic is now flowing freely once more, interstate and international visitors have flown away. In Japan the cherry blossom season should have reached Kyoto. Challenge: customs of autumn or flowers of spring. Senryu, haiku, tanka. Please use your imagination.

July Challenge

As I post there have been no entries for the June Challenge. This is a sad state of affairs. Maybe it has been too cold and wet for haiku and tanka poets to get about, use their hearts and intellect. As I look out the window the weather seems in a state of uncertainty, waiting for something to occur: rain, wind, sun? Tanka challenge: change, uncertainty, the unexplicable. Interpret as widely as you wish. Haiku Challenge: warmth. Again interpret as widely as you wish. Seasonal or non seasonal are acceptable.
