Dearest Followers,
My apologies for my long, long, long absence. So much has happened in my life and still, the thrills and tribulations come my way.
I am still Reading and Writing. You can find my Haiku on my Facebook Page under the name Dorna Hainds…if you are interested. With my chaotic hours at work, Facebook sadly is the only time I have to post any form of Poetry these days.
So until possibly Christmas/New Year, I bid you adieu. I am off once more to work my little bum off to save monies and keep a roof over my head, food in my bellies and give unlimited amounts of Love to my Little Lilly.
Sincerely,
dorna hainds aka Madasahatter572

i hope to in this new year, catch-up on many of my old writings. also, i am hoping to in this new year, start New Writing Projects. Of course, everything as with much of daily life, will depend upon my work schedule.
i will try and post a few reflections from 2023. there have been a few proud moments where my poems have been published and given meaningful acknowledgments.
off to work now, but i will post again, hopefully this weekend. until then, dearest reader(s) Stay Safe and Happy New 2024! (@—–>—–)
April Surprises…
On April 20, 2022, of this year, obviously, I took a New Year’s walk with my little love, Lola. She is nearly 14 years old this October 2022. Anyway, before our daily walks, since there is no rain, I was allowed by Mother Nature to make the following observations of my Lola and other natural things, during and after our daily walks. I hope you, reader(s) enjoy the happiness and surprises that we encountered on that day. If I had my camera in hand, I would have taken a quick photo, but of course, the snake in its travels, moved swifter than I could. 😉
before our walk…
teacup chihuahua
the sunshine is ahead
of the sunrise
teacup chihuahua
her shiny coat
ahead of the sunshine
sunshine—
teacup chihuahua
a sunny spot moves
around the apartment
during our walk…
sunrise
a gardener snake
rises itself from the grass
sunrise—
as the gold snake rises
from the grass
the gardener snake rises
suddenly, swiftly
april sunrise
after our walk…
sunshine
my chihuahua rests
on the sofa
sunshine—
sleepy chihuahua
stays in bed sulking
for a short while
sleeping chihuahua…
where a soft light shines
peeking
from the blankets
THIS DAY (2019)
(1892) FIRST VERSION PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic
for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with
liberty and justice for all.’
