Houses Away from Home

In my world I have one home,

Made up of many houses.

Dispersed In Nelson, 

Hamilton,

Christchurch

and Doha.

But Amberley Downs 

is home of homes,

Snuggled on the

peat filled fields

of Newstead.

Why is Business a Forbidden Poetry Subject?

Many of us, poets included, spend our daily life working in or running businesses yet there is a paucity of poems around this important subject area. Love, marriage, money, animals, family, travel and scenery are all used in poems but humble business is neglected.

So here is another business poem entitled Late Night at the Office

I'm here again
working late at the office
The rain falls noisily on the roof
while the cadences of my typing
Fill the empty air.

So much for work life balance
More like work and more work imbalance..oops
Nearly fell off
my hobby horse
A business related accident.

Still, and stillness, late at night
Have their benefits
I can think more clearly about
Love, marriage, money, animals,
Family, travel and scenery.

Right I'm out of here,
Home, hearth and books
are beckoning

Have a great day/night/morning/afternoon (delete non applicable items)

Kiwitahi Pilgrimage

 How strange to travel the world
for years and years
To settle back
20 miles from her
nativity

A very long and convuluted
journey from Home
to home
From farm to farmlet
on the Amberley Downs.
