Very cool haiku or you could describe it as a haiga I suppose with the words and photographs 🙂 That house is lovely. I dream about my old haunts regularly – I fly through the air over the roads and streets of my childhood and over the roof of my old house.

Hi Gabe, about your second sentence, I misread it at first and thought that you dreamt about your old haunts but really did fly over the places of your childhood (somehow I pictured you as either a regular flyer or a pilot), which I thought was rather magical, all things considered!

hahaha – that would be cool, really flying over my old suburb – maybe I am really flying in my dreams – it certainly feels like it is real 😉

Ha … nice one Nigel. Love your tags too (as usual). No wonder you don’t have a tag cloud!

Thanks Sue.
It’s nice to play around with words and images (as you’ve probably noticed). And, yes, I do tend to get carried away with tags. I’m sure it’s been done many times before, but one day the whole post will be in the tags – for one week that’ll get me out of doing something properly creative. And will probably annoy readers/visitors to this blog, so perhaps I won’t do it at all. Above all, as a blogger, I just wanna be liked.

Oh you are, Nigel, you are … liked that is. So, go for it!

Interesting: Australian writer John Marsden said at an event at Manning Clarke House in Canberra a couple of years ago that when he started writing he just wanted to be admired. Eight-million copies of his books later, he said the impulse remained the same: he still just wants to be admired. Which is similar to just wanting to be liked, don’t you think?
