Excited and honoured to have three poems published in the latest Mozzie. Thank you Ron Heard for keep on keeping on . It is a valuable contribution to our poetry world.
a poet
on Lennox Beach
i strode out
the long flat expanse
in my younger faster days
a shape-shifter in the dawn
above a brown wide-winged
kestrel glided too
on the whipped air currents above
then dived into the grassy
sandbank and took off
Back at my cabin
i wrote
a poem from the heart
stirred by this bird posted it
to the Mozzie and the editor –
Ron Heard published it
and I saw
my first ever poem in print
and that is how my life
as a poet took wings
