painting by Jeanette Prout

wild weather
grey puddles of slush
where the road was—
all our tomorrows
blown out to sea

tanka by Julie Thorndyke

A favourite from Eucalypt

when it all seems
simply too much to bear –
the cool blue ocean
edged with lapis-lazuli,
velvet fingers of white foam

— Julie Thorndyke
