Wonderful, Jo! Like I said before it’s like you’re pioneering a kind of KiwiAussie Haiku.
What a lovely thought…
Hello sailor…
He’s cute isn’t he !!!! All to do with the right genes…hehe
Sailors beware!
More like Big Wide World beware…
Who is the handsome sailor?
The Son…
Wow he’s lush! I have a handsome sailor son too!
He is isn’t he Gilly – sailor sons are so lovely. He just went home yesterday and I miss him already.
So – time to put a piccy up of your handsome lad isn’t it…so we can all ohhhhh and ahhhhhhh over him.
I like balladeer’s comment, kind of like a Kiwausiku.
Okay now say that word…go on…
Love it. And like the others said, the sailor is handsome.
Thank you – he is that…
you rock.
happy new year.
Thanks for the love to poets rally, keep it up.
smiles.
Thank you – happy new year to you too.
Excellent Jo:)
Thanks Jake.
Your son is quite handsome. Apples don’t fall far from the tree. I am enjoying your haiku-esque poems. Poems should be brief. They should crystalize language to the fewest words possible to convey a message, thought, idea… Thank you! You’ve been very busy.
He is very handsome !! And I love the ‘apples/tree’ compliment – though I think it is a bit of a sore point with him being compared to Mum…hehe
A very nice entry my great friend,
and i trust that this is your son?
I can now see the concept of your
stones a day challenge
