From the ocean of my thoughts

Shake them loose and let them free

To perish or endure

From the old whale called Nompie

Why Nompie? well it's aboriginal for whale; it's short & it's catchy

Why am I blogging ; to get some feed- back on the stuff I'm interested in and what goes through

my mind & to experiment with writing & putting down my thoughts .

By the way , I have just published a book of thirty two poems called "Vignettes" available on

Autharium.com and Amazon.com or just search for Nompie on the internet and you should find a link.

It's an eclectic mix and covers some controversial subjects that I think are worth thinking about,

see the comments in the Review section of this blog

Dean Samways from Autharium posted one of these poems on Autharium's blog on 3rd June; it's

called "Not Your Time" and is about the aftermath of active combat duty and the resulting PTSD.

Look out for it, hope it resonates!
