October is a time of year when the 'build up' to our wet season can be very trying. 'Tropical'  is a term used and it is said that one can go 'Troppo' - Australian slang for becoming crazy because of the oppressive heat and humidity which is relieved only by the  monsoonal  rains.

​Feeling the heat this morning I penned this poem:

I have only recently begun submitting poems to magazines and other publishers.

I am so happy three out of my four poems,submitted for the The Poetic Bond VII competition, have been selected.  The Poetic Bond VII is an international publication that will soon become available.
​The Poetic Bond VII is compiled and edited by poet Trevor Maynard and published by Willowdown Books.  

Keep writing and submitting your work.  I have phases where I write and phases where I am into creating art in various media.  Life is about giving it a go.  These visual arts have the benefit of my not spending so much time on social media, watching TV or becoming bored with life. So, if my blogging falls short of expectations, know that I am likely to be creating; no apologies for that.

Visual art is a form of meditation, as I have mentioned before;  A way to be present, a gift for yourself, if not for the world.

Much love
