Now retired from the Government service where I worked from 1968 to 2003. Born February 1950. I am married to Anthony Cox since 1971; we have two children - a daughter Yanda; and a son Khama. Writing poetry is my dearest hobby. I enjoy the aspect of abstraction in haiku. Beside my writing I spend quiet time reading and crocheting. I also enjoy a challenging game of Scrabble. I am a member of the World Haiku Club and some of my poems appears at World Haiku Review, my work can also be read at The Heron's Nest, In Buddha's Temple, Charnwood, Wordchimes, and poetry.com My poetry site is PatchWork, poetry for the whole family.

clear skies-
time to unpack
woolen sweaters
typhoon
the trees
crying
red bougainvilleas
highlights pink bougainvilleas —
my day pales
pruned bougainvillea–
a feeling of sadness
branch by branch felled
pruned bougainvillea
the phoenix’s death …
joy, to rise again
