Would you care for a joyful surprise? These surprises are packaged in four themes and each theme has a selection of haiku, longer poems and a play. The themes are Life & Death, Far Out, Red Roses and Time & place. Who is the writer? Is there a photo? No. Can you find out more on social media? Probably not. All you need to know is that: sometimes I am a teenager and sometimes an octogenarian at a funeral who thinks hecould well be next in that coffin. Sometimes I am young, foolish and crazy about my new love and sometimes I am glad I have had the same partner for thirty plus years. Sometimes I am a responsible professional earning a living and sometimes a dreamer. Sometimes I am comfortably stuck in Australian suburbia and sometimes coping with life in a foreign country. That experience has been essential to my writing. I am a haphazard writer. When something "falls from the sky', I let it bounce around in my head until it takes shape: perhaps as a three line haiku, perhaps as a longer poem or even a play. Then I grab a pen and paper and write it down rapidly. So rapidly that my hand struggles to keep pace with my head. Spontaneity and originality are linked. For me, creative writing is a series of joyful surprises. Sometimes they are more a revelation than a surprise. I would like to share these surprises with you.
