Monthly Poetry Challenge - August

 

monthly poetry challenge

Or Maybe It Was Elijah Wood



purge the evening to

wake to prada eyes

caught between worlds

between celestial stars

and short tempered words

lush mornings move slowly

into dry days with a silver

locket refusing to stay

and yet I dream, dreams

of vacations together with

daniel radcliffe, in merry

flirtations.


This month seemed as if I threw my plans up into the air and let everything go.  Similar feeling to the past few months (especially with the miscarriage) but this month, in particular, was more about smiling as everything fell down around me.  A crazy silly month where my writing matched the silliness.  I'm smiling (genuinely) yet also carry this unwanted unease.  Maybe you feel this too? I flip flop from acceptance and feeling free (amidst the chaos) to a secret wish to have all my comforts and routines returned - to find my centre of calm.

Biggenden/3

I almost forgot to blog these photos but a random thought sparked me to remember them. I'm not even sure when we visited Ben's Mum, maybe before Melbourne, anyways as you probably know from past times - I love taking photos there, so yup this post is super image heavy! 

Her home is always full of dogs (a bit like Jane's!) which is super cute and we get to take Gremlin up for our stay too. Gremlin and the dogs definitely don't mix well but there's a lot of compromising with the space, so everyone gets a chance to roam and explore and sniff things :)






We also took a trip down memory lane - I love looking at people's photo albums (how cute is little Ben!!)

His robot costume was pretty stellar too!!

You may have seen an iPhone snap of this pick on my Instagram!

I also have big plans this year to recreate that awesome cut out Santa Ben's Grandad made :) 

Okay time to be quiet-ish and just posting all the fun things around her home!

























I love that Poppy always looks like she smiling for photos!











I hardly ever see Gremlin do that sitting pose but something caught his eye out the window!




  and finishing off with some pretty tiles from a shop front in town!
