poetsday: one deep breath
http://helpmewriteapoem.blogspot.com/2006/10/one-deep-breath_31.html
Tuesday, October 31, 2006. Watching them when I'm not there. Faith, trust, hope and love. This week's prompt made me think I'm more of an observational guy and I could appreciate the unseen more. I had a bit of difficulty with 'observing' the unseen without being too literal. Posted by Ian russell at 12:16 AM. Beautiful poem, Ian. Tuesday, 31 October, 2006. I know what you mean. I too have similar problems. Wednesday, 01 November, 2006. Friday, 17 November, 2006. For me, poetry is still a bit of a mystery.

poetsday: two-minute poetry
http://helpmewriteapoem.blogspot.com/2006/11/two-minute-poetry_116481101961298670.html
Wednesday, November 29, 2006. A wise man I knew sat to offer advice. He told me, whenever you attempt anything. Try to be the best, and if you can't. Be the best, then be. There are a lot of people in this old world. You can bet if you've thought of it. Then someone else has too! Think twice about everything you do. But don't just do nothing. That just won't do at all! If you can't be the best - or. Just be yourself, be someone at least. And on that point he rose. And leaving, walked smack into a post.

poetsday: avoidance
http://helpmewriteapoem.blogspot.com/2006/10/avoidance.html
Friday, October 20, 2006. Or fewer than seventeen. Posted by Ian russell at 1:13 AM. For me, poetry is still a bit of a mystery. This began as a serious personal exercise to understand and appreciate poetry, and to endeavour to compose at least one piece of good verse. It still is, although to a lesser extent. moving on, this is now really a place to post my thoughts and observations in verse form. I have developed a greater fondness for the haiku form of expression, more now than merely a syllable puzzle.

http://helpmewriteapoem.blogspot.com/2006/10/one-deep-breath.html
Monday, October 23, 2006. When i glance in the mirror. Caught in the passing headlights. As the night claims them. Reading the link on one deep breath for Kristin Boryca. S study on the four aesthetic terms in haiku - sabi, wabi, yugen and aware, I wondered if they could relate to the four elements - fire, air (wind), water, earth. (whatever they might mean! I came up with;. Sabi - solitude - air (or wind). Wabi - stability - earth. Yugen - mystery - fire. Aware - impermanence - water. Kinda creepy, huh?

Monday, November 13, 2006. A Sister for Ian. When I was seven, Mum brought home a sister. To play with after school, she wasn’t. Even one yet; really small, so if I sat. Still and was good I could hold her gently. And she smelled like milk and biscuits. If I behaved down the shops, I could push her. In the pram home, she liked to rock, the gurgles. Stopped when she sleeps, sometimes a whole day! Sometimes I was allowed to push her. Round the garden in the summer while. Posted by Ian russell at 6:30 AM.

Tuesday, October 24, 2006. The minutiae of Life. The two-minute poem;. The draft of a suicide note lay. Amongst the aftermath of breakfast. A half-consumed body of man. The sacrificial lamb hanging. Ominous from the beam. The coffee has become quite cold now. Collecting my belongings I turn. Taking one last look while. Heading for the door. Right to the top of the tree. No one need stand on the tips of their toes. To see over the intellect of tony mcgee. While tony would prove one and one made three.
