I'm in
a choir
and sing
tenor
sometimes
we achieve
#harmony
with the sopranos
and altos

but we plod on
singing
in many places
singing

especially
in a group
try it
if you get
the chance

Moonstruck I am
#spellbound by your charm

Enchanted by the magic in your eyes
Your love has me wrapped in its warm arms

My heart soars like a bird in the skies
for in this love a true philosophy lies

That lifes greatest surprise is a love in disguise

Women of Biobanking: Science Heroines Who Changed The World - Biodiversity Biobanks SA Throughout history, women in science have been isolated and ignored. Even today, many people would have a hard time naming even three great female scientists. At the BBSA, we don’t have that problem -...

#wildwalkprompt

I crawled
Inside my #shell
Waiting for a world
That was quieter
Softer
But everyone
Poked me
With a stick
To see me
Unfurled
Except for you

You crawled
Inside my shell
With me

So I ran away

Image of green, unripe plums on a plumtree, with green foliage and bits of blue sky in the background. The plums speak both to the William Carlos Williams inspiration of the post and to the fact that it is generally not considered best practice to take up references prior to shortlisting.

This Is Just To Say

I have written
The 6 requested
references
for your post

Which I very much hope are
useful to
someone's
career.

Forgive me
for pointing out
it is not good practice
to take them up so soon.
