Pobblebonk frog  calls
In desperate disco rhythm.
It's Fandango time.
The Eastern Banjo frog has a distinctive "pobblebonk"  mating call. At this time of year our small  pond /water feature is like the local club with  many frogs doing the lurve thing..
The pobble bonk  however reign in the persistence and loudness of the mating call..and subsequent egg rafts that the gold fish gorge themselves on...One of life's ironies

Beneath Judas tree,
the weight of suicide bends,
a sorrowful arch.

From bloodied wounds sprout
black wings of despair's descent,
shadowed by their sin.

You're slipping, love, like sand through my hands,
Each word you fling cuts, each silence expands.
I’ve waited, I’ve warned, I’ve whispered my plea,
But this path you tread moves you farther from me.
Soon, I'll be gone—just a shadow you'll see.

journey taken with mystery wrapped
a poet sings on the plains of forgetfulness

dreams fill void on void on void
while a hand holds tight to love

many steps to travel and travel some more
sometimes to stumble sometimes to run

time returns to eternal love
as you sit and see the poetry in your hands.

The Hoodie Crows
'SQUARK' atop the roof
this is their valley.
all scraps belong to them.

Love bade me 'trust in my word'
'Come away with me to a deserted place-
and I will speak to your heart'.
