MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Going Nuts’

going nuts for pecans
unimpressed by cheesy cashews
walnuts in the shape of a brain
good fortune of hazelnuts
pinenuts loved by black cockatoos
brazil nuts from the amazon
creamy buttery macadamias
a hard nut to crack!

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘New Angle’

luminous stars filled the night sky
years away and yet visible to the naked eye
as we sat silently around the fireplace
gazed at the distant galaxies
flames burned away any worries

specs of light thus far in the distance
reminded us of life beyond the daily strife
cries of one in the whole of cosmos
suddenly rather trivial

MIDNIGHT POETRY – ‘Ode To Sourdough’

oh, dear sourbread
what i would do for you
for you rise from dust
without added yeast

in my shallow sleep
i pray for you deeply
mornings i feed you
you rise to sky heights

for your rye starter
true love i feel
the flavour the texture
the chewy crumb

the combo of the dark grain
paired with precious liquid
time, the perfect substance
yielding the desired effect

i wait for you patiently
while you work the magic
you deliver every time
the manna of gods

blessed we are
as so little is needed
to satisfy our hunger
yet so very nourishing

MIDDAY POETRY – ‘Silence’

delight in silence
no added noise
only nature’s buzz

soothing tunes
restoring the nerves
healing the mind

loving bird song
calling their mate
paired for life

the frogs croak
at the dam
the sound of rain

like a shower
the soul soap
cleansing internally
