Blog!

Well, this website was made for me in 2009, and the PHP is kind of out of date – but it can no longer be upgraded as the theme is not supported by a newer PHP. And, I have to admit, I have a very hazy idea of what PHP is.

So I will just have to work within the realms of what IS possible.

Hopefully I can update is as soon as I have some money to do so!

Meanwhile, here is a poem about baby turtles.

.

Baby Turtle Lullaby

.

A warm, salty breeze

is blowing, small turtles,

asleep in your nests

under sand in the bay,

.

the touch of soft starlight,

the sound of the sea’s song,

is calling to wake you

and bear you away,

.

your destiny waits in

blue, boundless oceans,

so say your goodbyes

to the motionless land,

.

paddle as fast as

your flippers can follow

and leave just your

butterfly prints in the sand.

.

You can find this poem and another by me in The Sea’s Song, published by Oxford University Press:

  2. Hey, looking good!!!

    Loving your poems. It isn’t something I do, but I enjoy reading them.

    Have you thought about getting together with a designer and making personal cards? I’ve often searched high and low for a card only for the words inside to sound wrong.

    Good luck.

  3. Well it works from this end. Your website is fandabbydozy. It makes my home made one look very dull.
