Brolga Dance
Newly hitched we hit
pop-hot spots in Sydney.
Occasion marked: Us.
Tickets to ‘The Lion King’
in old Capitol Theatre
took us back to Africa.
Sticky Date at Doyles
added more weight
to our love waistlines…
We watched the river,
Opera House teeming,
Coat-hanger tourists.
Sky-high Telecom chats
revolving restaurant
views topped off trip
before Aqua chatting,
large-finned silver
swimmers mesmerize.
Guinness for St Paddy
raised to Shamrock Green.
Chinese gardens walk,
Brolga dance to hotel
suite, (less public for
private celebrations).

Straight Up
enclose me in your walls
add bricks one on the other
until I am surrounded
don’t include a door

Hello…Will you… I do.

There’s this cute idea making the rounds on Instagram :
1. Where you met your partner,
2. Where they proposed
3. Where you said “I do”.
I’d love to participate but I don’t have a smart phone or Instagram account.
However, I will participate, as much as I can.
1. 1973 Kitwe, Zambia at an audition for a keyboard player with the band ‘Paper Lace’.
2. In his town house, St Mary’s Road, Midleton, Ireland, June 2003.
3. Hillarys Boat Harbour, Western Australia, November 2003.

1968 Notebook: ‘unknown’

In the
silhouette
of your
beauty,
your dreams
be
hidden,
Why?
Maybe
your dreams,
are
mine!
(Written in the back of my 1968 notebook ~ author ‘unknown’.)

McDaid’s Folk Club
We carefully stepped through
the seated crowd, she smiled
in surprised delight and
pulled you down
to whisper invitingly.
I watched the young guitarist finger-pick,
thought about her possessive
hand placed on
your willing arm
and felt sick.

1968 Notebook

Raining
I came home alone
on my own (again)
in the rain.
The room was cold
and bare – empty
without you there.
Mind dull with pain,
face wet and stained,
full of mascara and grief.
Of goodbye – disbelief!
Morning holds
nothing new.
The usual chaos
and boredom.
No you…

Poetry Postcard: Eight Pots
Posted in Art as the Spark, Love, nature, Poetry, Poetry Postcards, Romance, Writing, tagged FrancesMacaulayForde, Hibiscus, POEM:EightPots, poetry, romance on November 19, 2014| 1 Comment »
Our Hibiscus is flowering again – don’t know how many times a year it does, but it does with no attention from me. Except to snip some of her beautiful blooms so I can paint them…
