Horsey Haiku No 1

Today I have discovered an old haiku I wrote about Bobby the Irish Draft. I thought I should publish it! This might have set a trend…you  may see more horsey haikus coming your way…Tamsin (Pickeral) and I thought we should make a collection of these together, inspired by the wonderful images of horses from around the world.

“Eyes like black ink-wells gazing at me;
Gentle whinny, I fall in love.”

Off radar

Speech is silver, yet silence is gold…. I hope that is the case! I have had no time to write, sporadic and access to the internet and a gazillion other priorities that have kept me from recording what is happening behind the scenes. I am a tipping-point (of sorts) – the final moments of a contract, a house move (overseas at that) – a lifestyle change; I am at arm’s length from the world wide web but I am not too far away.

Today I’m collating data and in doing so am flicking through the archives. One of those memory lane moments. I came across Leo the Afghan Hound and smile as I recall that day in February in New York City, running around Manhattan with an elegant hound who attracted much attention. Racing across the traffic lights, laying low and shooting up to the towering buildings, listening to city sounds and stomping on the sidewalks…what a wonderful year this has been! That is only one out of around 100 photoshoots, that each has its own tale to tell. In time…in time.
