Lost and found is my eureka! blog, my rediscovery of my short fiction and poetry submissions published in literary magazines and university literary journals some decades ago. Interspersed, occasionally, with more recent, hitherto unpublished pieces.
Oh, so comfortably I sit on a cushioned glider, tiny companion dog asleep beside me, as a robin sings brilliantly in the garden below and rain pelts the canopy sheltering us. We could abandon our outdoor leisure perch but no need, as we're kept dry and secure.
This is our outdoor space as extension of our indoor haven from the vicissitudes of the elements. From our shared shelter can be observed the bright orange sprays of blooming honeysuckle, the manifold-petalled, exquisitely frangranced peonies and the deep-pink roses bursting pride.
The steady sound of the rain under the aluminum-coloured aquarium that has become the sky a comforting murmur nurturing the gardens below, filling the bird-bath that will delight the robins anticipating the festive offerings emerging from the creature-drenched garden soil.
