Rosemary Nissen-Wade: Aussie poet and teacher of metaphysics – a personal view
My bestie nicknamed me SnakyPoet on her blog, and I liked it. (It began as
'the poet of the serpentine Northern Rivers' and became more and more abbreviated.)

Writer's Journal (exercise): In a Pigsty

In a pigsty here I lie
looking up at the sweet blue sky.


Mud is heaven too for me
I wallow freely, happily.


I eat the scraps, and I enjoy
being hand-fed by the farmer’s boy.


When the sun goes down at night
I sleep the sleep of the just and right.


What a lucky pig am I
safe and cosy in my sty!
