In principle then, an absurd measure would have to be taken to make me stop biting my nails... hmmm someone's suggested nail polish before, the level of absurdity is in proportion

empty field
the sound of church bells
from the hilltops

snake tracks

outside the teacher's staffroom

a shovel

happy hour

a chatter of rosellas

edge the bottlebrush

through churchyard mist

a stone angel

forming

Publishers, Poems, Etc

Very exciting news! Recently I have been contacted by a respected U.K. publisher, asking if I had published any previous books, for the publisher has recognized my haiku in several different international/ online journals. A great compliment! To add to the compliment, I have been given a very optimistic opportunity by the U.K. publisher to work on a poetry book of my own as soon as my first book comes out! Exciting news, so I'll be expecting not only one book out, but two in the future :-) What I have noticed is the shift in my writing style, it has become a lot more positive and "God-breathed". Thanks Growth Group and KBC, and thanks to God for the inspiration. Here are some haiku for you to enjoy:

• 
  

balancing on the top
of a church belfry—
haloed sun

rooftop prayers
crossing the cumulus
Angel Flight

•  

abandoned goalpost—
an orb spider’s web
catches the full moon
