August prompt

When You Leave

My heart does dream of only you,

it has no time or rudder.

Until your touch is felt again,

that longing makes me shudder.

Your trust you gave implicitly

I will not lie or tease,

for in between life’s dark and light,

It ‘s you I long to please.

Something Lovingly Poetic to Ponder About

Published by Forestwood

A philosophic Aussie writes here at StPA, one who will readily admit to loving Scandinavia. I'm interested in global politics and what drives us to be who we are. Scratch the surface and you'll find a practical Environmentalist with an egalitarian bent, trying to unleash a little creativity via the written word. Scandinavian culture, literature and traditions are close to my heart, even though I'm Australian. Travel and courteous discussions greatly broaden the mind, so I travel if I can and am always up for a vigorous, respectful discussion. I'm an avid reader, a writer and I enjoy photography and crafts, particularly traditional art forms. I hope you'll find 'Something to Ponder About,' in my WordPress Community.

  4. The creaking gate half unhinged
    Buster, the sheep-dog seen it all
    is seeps the spirit, makes hard going
    where’s the rain?
    The clouds are here, beckoning
    they whiten the sky all grey
    Drops are spitting hope
    stop sighing of despair
    It might just rain again.

    1. A topical poem, Gerard considering b the state of the country areas in Australia. I can only imagine the despair one feels if you have a farm and it hasn’t rained for several years. Can you imagine NO rain for several years?. It is beyond belief!!!
