Drive with Pride

I don't want

a car with a spoiler

or a loud exhaust

But I do want

to drive on colourful tyres

That would be mint!

Life Lines

Christchurch and Kaikoura

will not take for granted

everyday signs 

of life

Under Pressure

Head bowed

shoulders hunched

feet dragging

Forces

subject to gravity

of situations

Stretching Life

Boredom 

makes the face sink

smiles and laughter

are animating

Let the intensity of your stare

sparkle with life

Make your skin prickle

with delight

My Mum

If she wrote this

she would only write horrible things

and nobody else

would ever say

the bad words

she says

about herself

Repellent Thoughts

Why can't I swat you away

sucking on my thoughts

causing an itch 

where I can't scratch
