This poem was a finalist in the “Inner City Life” Literary Competition 2004, initiated and run by Irina Dunn as Director of the NSW Writers Centre.
When my hibiscus was in full flower, I picked a few and decided to have a go painting them… I thought it went well with the poem and published the postcard in 2012.

I started doing poetry postcards when I ran Poets Corner @ Pages Cafe as a giveaway on each table. I figured if people were kind enough to sit and listen, they deserved a keepsake.
I’m still in the habit and find them useful as giveaways at readings and book events. I get them printed – often for free, when VISTA PRINT do ‘specials’.
This one has the first (the very first) oil painting I ever did, on it. My dad gave me a set of oils for my 12th birthday and a small tester board.
I haven’t done more than a handful since but this first attempt at oils, was always my favorite.
The poem was written for my returned love; every time he turns to carry on with his everyday… I miss him this much.

So I thought I’d share some poetry postcards I’ve printed up. I use my own photos or artworks with my poems and give them away when I’m doing talks or workshops.
Recently I was in Residence at Burn Beach Cafe as part of the Cafe Poets Project with Australian Poetry, our national organisation and my postcards were quite popular.
The first three are from my time at Burns Beach on the Sunset Coast of Western Australia and the next couple are others chosen at random… I have published many…
