Lunar New Year Haiku

year of the rat
the promise of new beginnings
good news for all

for everyone

Ian Row

year of the pig

year of the pig -
to the laughing firecrackers
danced the coy dragon

Meditations on Life

i.
it's time to move on
to begin a new chapter
excitement and nerves

ii.
it's almost two years
the boy has really changed
the public service

iii.
resilience; strength
it's about people and place
living and dreaming

iv.
it was a safe place
to rest for a short while
resume the career

'no croquet today'
