Poetry Friday: Another Poetry Haiku

by

It’s Poetry Friday. I’m in the midst of one of my busiest couple of weeks ever – Book Week, a burst of promotion for Fly-In Fly-Out Dad, a move of house, family illness, a busy period with my studies, a writing deadline… Anyway, rather than let this prevent from participating in Poetry Friday, for the second week in a row, I’m sharing a quick post in the form of a haiku poem.

I took this photo on the Abrolhos Islands last year. I’m fairly sure this plant was a weed, but it reminded me of tiny little trees from a Dr Seuss book. Thus, my poem.

Poetry Friday this week is hosted by the amazing Sylvia at Poetry for Children. You’ll find the round up there.

Bookweek Day 2: Manning and South Perth

More Bookweek fun today, speaking to kids from Manning Primary at the Manning Library and St Columba’s, Como  Primary and South Perth Primary at  South Perth Library. Yes, I’m a little blurry – I’m not very good at standing still 🙂Manning 2015

Bookweek at The Grove

by

It’s Children’s Bookweek, and I had a lovely time today speaking to children from Mosman Park Primary and Cottesloe Primary at The Grove Library in Cottesloe. Thanks to librarian Stewart and the teachers and parents who brought the children along. I have no idea what I was doing when this photo was taken – I tend to get a bit dramatic. But I had a fun – and hopefully the kids did too.
