Hi Kate … I’m here today, … feeling a bit yukky, but I’ll take Frankie for a walkie soon, and the my day will brighten up … you are a wonderfully positive influence on my well being, and your words here, are the sorts of attitudes that I try to achieve … 😍🤗🌏

I doubt such a dignified swan would chatter away, besides WA is a super long flight 🙂 And frankly I would never have heard her above the din of all the surrounding sea birds, gulls and terns are super chatty 🙂

The antinomies in an interesting poem characterize man very well. A great entry into the month of poetry and poets.
