About Me

WOO HOO on Tuesday 19th May I started to receive mail from the USA.

Because of covid-19 it's taking about 4 weeks to get snail mail to the US from New Zealand .

I'm a Christian.

Hi as I live in New Zealand NO plant material or food except coffee or herbal tea as they are processed so seem to be OK can be sent but send any thing else and it will be stopped at Border Control then burnt.

I'm a slightly older woman who is sadly a widow . I live with my black & white cat called Polly as she is polydactyl in other words she has thumbs.

I enjoy all music but my favourite is jazz.

I'm a Christmas gal. I go mad with Christmas decorations in all the main areas inside my home & one of the bedrooms. I LOVE Christmas & all it stands for.

I enjoy reading poetry have done so all my life all lengths & genre and writing Haiku. I have tried writing poetry but it is sooo bad.

I work with preschool children & love it.

Thank you for taking the time to read this.

Favorite Crafts

I knit, crochet, spin also a little tatting.

I also scrapbook.

I love making postcards and mini books/zines mini pocket books from paper bags.

POSTCARDS - I like post cards to be sent as a post card so no envelope please unless it is a requirement of the swap. I'm happy in fact I LOVE it if it's handmade. On postcards - lighthouse, the sea, birds, lighthouse, flowers, your home town, lighthouse, mermaids, butterfly, a photo you have taken. My care children love looking at photos of cats. Did I mention lighthouses or mermen& mermaids ?

Also a good copy of a vintage photo or vintage postcard.

But no adds please.

PHOTOS - Take loads of photos on my different cameras. I only use my camera on my phone for stuff I don't want to keep long term or I'm sending to family or friends or for work as with snap chat or such like.

Favorite Colours

Blue, purple, pinks on there own or as a marble swirl of 2 or 3 of them.

Comment: Sorry for the late rating! I really loved reading all of these pieces, as well as all of the author information. It reminded me of one thing I love about being an English professor--learning about poetry!

Comment: Hi Kathleen! Thanks so much! I got your unicorn poems all the way from NZ! I so enjoyed reading them and love the flute player note paper. I remember how the Irish Rovers made a song out of that one poem about the lonely unicorn. They even had a TV show here on CBC for a while and that was the theme song. Unicorns are really fun! Hope you get my poems soon! Cathy/Writercat

Comment: Hi Kathleen! Thank you so much for all the wonderful poems you sent about flowers. I really liked Blake's poem. I had no idea it was that long as I was only familiar with the first part of it. I enjoyed reading the whole thing. A real gem. I can see you are a real poetry enthusiast! Hope you will like my unicorn poems and it doesn't take too long to get there from Canada to NZ. All the best to you down under from the great North soon to be frozen North. Winter is coming. Happy Spring to you. Cathy/Writercat

Kathleen, here is your haiku, which I based on your words from your profile:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Title: FAVORITE COLOURS

Blue, purple, and pink

Blue-green marble wave-type swirls

Colours of the sea.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wish I could leave a picture with this, but I haven't mastered that skill yet.

Best wishes to you! Haiku for You from PeliKat

Haiku for you:

I’m not Christian but / I respect your decision / to find peace from High.

Hi AFK. This is for Poetry Zine Swap - Send by Email. I messed up. I forgot to change "3" to "6" partners before assigning people. I changed it to "6" after assigning. So we can only rate 3 people. If I could, I would rate you a 5 heart. Your haiku zine is a joy. Calming. Haikus are my favourite style of poetry. Your own photos are a nice touch. Your Easter portrait is a hoot. :) Thank you for creating your lovely zine and sharing it.
