By Julia Vaughan
Pizza or Thai
Indian or Chinese
I don’t feel like cooking
The end of
A winter weekend
Lazy
The fire’s on
Beach walked this morning
With beanies on
A bracing bitter wind
Sunday’s rugby’s on TV
Watching the Newcastle Knights
Fiercely defending against the Auckland Warriors
Hot fresh popcorn for starters
Deliciously coated
Baz’s recipe of Tabasco
Cashew nut butter and hoisin sauce
Pizza wins tonight
And Woolies’ naughty
Loaded lemon-poppyseed muffins
In the microwave
For dessert
Julia Vaughan moved to Australia with her husband in 1989. After discovering inspiring U3A Surf Coast (Victoria, Australia) “I just don’t get poetry” classes, she tentatively started writing poetry in 2021. Having her class-mates encouragement, she has had some poems published, dotted sparsely across the internet. Poetry is her creative, whimsical, stress outlet. Amongst other things, Julia loves walking her
Vizsla dogs (especially on the beach), gardening, socialising with friends, and just being curious.
