flung down like water
find your timeless fall and flow
running, never still

Like Water
Melinda J. Irvine is an Australian writer, poet, and blogger living between the Philippines and Australia. Mel is adopted mum to Jerry, a Filipino boy she met in 2015 while volunteering after Typhoon Yolanda. All the money she earns as a freelance writer and author get her one step closer to legally adopting Jerry — plus helping the other kids from his village go to school.
Lovely reminded me of how we wrote Haiku in Mr Paremee’s class and had them published in the school magazine. Mine was called:
The Willy Wagtail.
Darting through the trees
He’s doing aerobatics
Singing so sweetly.
Funny how you remember these things so clearly like they were yesterday . 🙂
wow jodie, you should take a pic of a willy wagtail and post it. nice to find the inner poet in you again. i really liked mr paremee, he really cared about the kids.
