Late afternoon in the hotel pool

Ensconsed in the weightless azul

I float

blanketed by

the ceylon sky

Bubbles nibble

gently at my ears

as I lay here

prone

A starfish

Then a cross

bathed in healing waters

An aquatic cocoon

where all preoccupation

dissolves

I have been writing mediocre poems since childhood. To me the process of writing is a release and the results, however mundane, give me a sense of pride. I am a busy teacher, mother (hockey mum), wife, pet owner as well as being a reader, sometime raver and a reasonable friend.
