An unplanned nice trip20250525
After missing the train to Swan Hill.
I went Frankston and got off at Currum station.
A local bus 833 to Lake Patterson.
Walked right into a Retirement.
I was drawn to the Patterson Lakes Village,
With the water fountains and bridges.
Then made another mistake,
Headed to Seaford Wetland.
Finally, walked on the gravel stone path,
Of the Dandenong creek trail,
Along the Patterson...

one year on the memory his kindness still live in my heartSunday 2025.05.25
This morning, I arrived at the Station,
Gave the Swan Hill V-Line train a miss,
The same train which I travelled
Exactly one year ago.
When I had a relaxing and peaceful time,
At the border of NSW and Victoria.
It turned out I should catch the missed train,
To take me to Kangaroo Flat,
One stop away from Bendigo.
What significant thing...

Living the life
cheese croissant and café au lait
at a cobblestone street bakery
on boulevard du Montparnasse

Bye Bye, I'm Off to MarsRedlight One to Mission Control!
Can you read me, Can you read me?
Are you there?
Has the comet hit you yet?
Did the 'Nuke it Baby' missile work?
Can you read me? Can you read me?
Perhaps not!
Oh well, here we all are,
in our tin can spaceship,
with our tin can robots driving the show.
With all our tin can things...

Eurotunnel Travel
While sharing the ride
and not a lot to see or do
seated side by side
in the Chunnel queue
with commuters driving home
I took a look at the view
carpool tunnel vision syndrome

The Cheese of EuripidesTingling of tongue sent Euripides
Questing a tastier kind of cheese.
"I found cheddar magical,"
Said this poet tragical,
"Sailing the southern antipodes.”...

Welcome HomeThe roads are jammed; the traffic crawls
And rain clouds fill the sky.
The cars are crammed and, on the walls,
Graffiti passes by.
The cabbie shrugs, “That’s how it goes”
As we head slowly home,
The morning’s hugs, you might suppose
The highlight of the poem.
Yet sunny skies and swaying palms
Don’t equal paradise,
So don’t surmise that lifestyle calms,
Though while you’re there...

a moving experienceI’ve moved out (of school),
I’m moving in (to school).
My joke is that I’m having a ‘moving experience.’
Graduating college (3 days ago) was a dream come true
I’m starting a master’s degree in 7 days.
You have to admire the efficiency.
Do I have your permission to bear my soul?
I might have imposter syndrome.
I’m a harsh critic—of everything—but mostly...

The Great ReturnLet's bring it back; let's go back
To that sweet, old thing we now lack
Make it great again, go back again
Let's start right away; let's begin
Back to organic maple syrup over Mama's hot, buttermilk flapjacks
And Daddy's Saturday morning tutorials on how to change the oil and how to use a scissor jack
A return to strangers saying...

Race CarRace Car
The driver is one with the machine.
Every turn on asphalt would be tires burning.
A V8 with horse power, the car flies down the road.
Turn up the music and push the pedal to the floor.
Need for speed while the tires grip every turn.
What a rush to fly by while the oil burns.
This is the life...

Taking a TripLeaving home to take a trip
Invites a lot of stress,
For whether things go just as planned
Is anybody’s guess.
Within your comfort zone you know
The rules and the routines,
The details all at your command
With few surprising scenes.
Yet out of bounds all bets are off
And so much can go wrong,
As unfamiliar routes demand
The proof that you belong.
It’s...

Malmsbury and Sacred Heart Catheral2025.05.18
Today, I had a morning started quite roughly.
I almost missed the bus,
Then actually missed the stop at the train station,
That costed me one hour moving and waiting around.
Finally, I reached my destination.
I climbed up hill of the Malmsbury Reservoir,
Followed the walking trails
Walked along the Coliban River,
Got closer to the arched brick bridge,
Near Ellesmere...

Let's ride good timesExposing rays from leaves, dense forest
Over and above with idle flow, riverine raft
None, still numerous belongs my closest
Melodies out the tropical denses,
Spreading vibes in everyone's hymn,
Fueling the bonfire with all poor instances,
Join all and let's ride good times....
