Lyrical Sunday: Birds with guest poem from ‘Chicken’ Grandma!
It’s Lyrical Sunday time! Charlotte set the theme of birds and I really wish I’d made more time to write a poem on this topic. Birds are so inspiring and when I first thought about what to write there were too many ideas coming to me. I found it difficult to settle on one theme. […]

Lyrical Sunday – Monsters (with a special poem from Chinese Grandma!)

Lyrical Sunday – Week 4: Bags
Sorry for being a day late for Lyrical Sunday. We stayed away on holiday an extra night (to avoid a rough crossing of the Cook Strait). We are now back home and had a beautiful crossing. It’s nice to be home… but we’ll be happier once all the bags are unpacked! I’ll be back tomorrow […]
Lyrical Sunday – Week 3: Flowers
Fragrant Embrace by Sarah Sweet peas through my window climb, Descended from the vines of time. Growing wild, in the mountains of Sicily, Reaching out, with tendrils, so sisterly. I watch the green shoots, stretch out and grow, a Vision of my sister and her love doth flow. Climbing those hills, where sweet peas wind, […]

Lyrical Sunday: Week 1 – Christmas
CHRISTMAS Kiwiana Style by Sarah Carols in the sun, Hammocks in the garden strung. Relies gather round, In Aroha they are bound. Seasons come and go, Though stories linger so. Mary and Joseph loved God’s greatest gift, And so we give though times have shift. Sand not snow, us Kiwis know, but same the world […]
