I followed the crickets' song and found my youth in the middle of an abandoned field off county road 9. It was right where I'd left it— under the old oak tree, next to the old book. I picked it up, dusted it off and skipped back to the car.

17 Feb 2024. A visit to Ocean Beach in Kāwhia. It’s just after 8pm, and the sunset is stunningly uproarious as it paints the sky with buckets of colour. The black sand beach is a deep umber, and proof of earlier various recreational vehicles can be found in rows of tracks left behind. The Tasman is a deep blue. The wispy clouds are fantastic in their tones – peach, dark grey, off-white. The sun itself is half-sunk into a liquid horizon of dreams, and a mini reflection of orange can be seen in the shallows near the shore. From the larger orb, two arms reach and diagonally divide the frame from lower left to upper right. The smaller sphere tries to follow suit, managing one outstretched arm in solidarity. In the distance of the harbour on the left are rolling hills, dark and full of secrets.

3 Feb 2018. Lake Taharoa | Kai Iwi Lakes Reserve. This was our first time visiting Kai Iwi Lakes. I recall us both being gobsmacked by this crystal-clear freshwater dune lake. ✨Being here was magical.✨

For me, a big part of the magic was/is my husband (I dislike using tenses…) He’s standing barefoot in the shallows of the lake, just ankle deep. A tall, powerfully built bald man, he’s faced away from my phone’s camera and is wearing his white linen shirt and tan cargo shorts. His posture is relaxed, hands in each short pocket. In the distance, the lake’s waters deepen and more turquoise and deeper blues can be see in the distance. A few boats drift about as fellow visitors enjoy the glorious sunshiny day. The sky is blue as, and some clouds float by, all puffy and lightly stacked. Surrounding the lake edges are native grasses, darker brown and orange. A rim of thick trees line the horizon.

Inspired by #vssdaily prompt (location), I recalled a haiku* I’d previously penned:

𝑠𝑒𝑒𝑘 𝑚𝑒 𝑠𝑒𝑒𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑦𝑜𝑢
𝑒𝑐ℎ𝑜𝑙𝑜𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛
ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑡𝑠 𝑝𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑖𝑛 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒

I miss you something awful, my Love.

happy #smallpoemsunday! 💜 feel free to share small poems you wrote or ones you love by other poets :) here’s one from my first book, Light-Up Swan (@ornithopterpress.bsky.social 2021)~

LAVENDER TOWN

You tell me a spell to get the ghosts
off my back. It works for a while.

Every laundromat in town is hidden
by signs that say closed, moved, new

location. To be warm and clean and
have time for song is a big secret.

Be careful / not to look at it too long.

Mid-Aug 2026. A picture of a Polygala Petite Butterfly shrub with their striking and wonderfully whimsical blooms. Whilst out on walkies, I wandered a way I'd not been in a while. Winding my way through the local neighbourhoods, this beauty caught my eye and my heart. It’s a low-maintenance evergreen shrub that blooms nearly all year and is pretty tolerant to the differing weather conditions here in NZ. The flowers are a vibrant magenta-purple shaped much like pea blossoms. The fluffy, brushy white tufts are the crests of the keel flower. These keels make a great landing surface for pollinators. Everybody jazz hands, now! The background is softened behind the larger group of flowers in the front centre of the photo. The leaves are a gentle sage green. Other flowers in various stages of bloom are scattered throughout the background as well.

I wasn’t necessarily feeling down on this walk but dangit if these sweeties didn’t give me a boost!

May 2024. A visit to the Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki to view an exhibition by Chinese designer Guo Pei’s stunning garment collection (think Rihanna at the 2015 Met Gala; to see that gown in person was supa cool). Entitled “Guo Pei: Fashion, Art, Fantasy”, we ooh’d and ahhh’d over about 60 pieces from this visionary haute courtier’s collection.

This golden beauty is “Legend of the Dragon”. Lavishly sequinned, there are dragon appliqués on each shoulder. A few displays such as this one were presented in simple nooks or smaller open areas of black background and soft overhead lighting which allowed the talent and handiwork to shine.

https://harpersbazaar.com.au/guo-pei-exhibition-auckland-art-gallery/ -- full picture in this in-depth article.

Inspired by several current prompts, I wrote a tanka:
