She stays awake for hours, cutting Xs in the sprouts,
Then peels all the tatties, a ton or thereabouts,
Slicing and dicing parsnips is next up in the plan,
Chops up carrots and a swede, and put them...

Once upon a time of mobile 
chargers,
Lives a small frighten 
kittyhawk,
Sacred and lost in the jungle 
of Xs!
Trapped for months and 
hours,

One day she broke her chain,
And flew days until she reach 
a place,
A tree...

If I were to collage next year
I’d place bronze across gold

If I were to sculpt next year
I’d chisel women into boardrooms,
chip away white to reveal colour,

writing is daydreaming on paper or sometimes straight into a computer.
notes crossed out, smacked around, slashed, re-visited, starred, circled,
checked, underlined, slashed out again, retrieved.

Happiness:

Anticipates altruism
Bears burdens
Considers carefully
Delegates diligently 
Embraces excellence
Forgives feverishly
Grows gregariously
Hopes happily
Inquires intelligently
Joins joyfully
Kneels knowingly
Lives lusciously
Maintains masterfully
Nurtures naturally
Overcomes obediently
Preens passions 
Qualifies quests
Receives righteously   
Speaks softly
Transforms tirelessly
Understands ubiquitously 
Values valor
Waits wisely
Xs-out xenophobia
Yields youthfulness
Zigzags zealously
