Morning Sonnet

I woke with a need to put some thoughts into a sonnet, how odd? Well, it might not be correct to traditional English iambic pentameter form (the second line especially doesn't work), but you get the idea. I Never felt the need to write a poem before.


Behind

The night brings and dawn will not take away
A memory's passion, future unmade

Cruel the master not known to his play
This vessel's innocence fashion will shade

A womb holds no comfort for marrow's youth
Peers close yet here my soul withers and why?

Nought those treasures won near these rocks truth
Neither loves found nor lost in this dry sky

Flight and thought to shining towers crystal
Haze the mind as members swallow themselves

Thud pump caught onomatopoeic pistol
Surrounded lust finds and blind eyes will delve

but sweet light I want you still, now I know
for real, you are not mine and never will

Matarangi summer days out

Just back from a few fantastic days up in Matarangi, Coromandel Peninsula. I stayed with Michael, Andrew, Trey & Jackie. Hereafter known as the Usuals, and some others came and went too, as I did. Paul couldn't come due to his horses as usual, heyhoo.




Great Mercury Island















We did a bit of fishing too, I didn't catch anything this time but Trey got a lovely snapper.















This beach was idyllic! And someone had left a tree swing... which you will see in the video :)









A View to Great Mercury Island, owned by a NZ industrialist or something or nothing, but he lives in Switzerland, the fool :) haha

that was fun.. it wasn't me screamin'!

Raglan Pony Beach makes a Lovely Arvo Mmm

Had a great afternoon out with the boys on Raglan beach




We went over in Scotty's truck which was fun in itself, especially, pulling over to fill up the tank... very butch! hahaha. Little Lucy LuLu, Scotty's woofa, spend the day racing after them.







but she loved it and was just very quiet on the way home :)











Kite-surfers too, anothering thing I should have tried in Spain but didn't.











Looks like he enjoyed it, aye?



Gave them a nice fresh grassy feed before leaving







woohoo!

lovely, huffin' and a puffin' romp!

I've decided I need to get back into exercise, so I kick started, mmm, my new daily routine with a -hike- up a local hill - Maungatautari. The DOC info said 2 hrs, and unusually they were right, as I stopped several times on the way up to wheeze, oh the shame... heyhoo...



I love big beautiful bush! Mmm, but it was very damp and slippy in there.

















And the view on coming down in the late afternoon was kind of stunning iconic NZ landscape, Mmm.
