Tim from Nelson South

In May, 2010, I started a daily poetry blog at t.j.hurford/rhymes. I have kept this up every day since then and now have 2252 original works available to anyone interested in this subject. My first book, 'To Insanity And Beyond' by t.j.hurford was published by Audio Arcadia in the U.K.. (couldn't find an NZ publisher/agent), is available on both Lulu and Amazon or through the publisher. My poem today is about a failing nation, but my work covers many subjects from aliens/sci fi to romance and war themes, humour and religion. I am heavily influenced by the English classicists, Coleridge, Wordsworth, Milton et al. and Rudyard Kipling as well as 'Carry On films' etc.. Please take a look. I also write short stories at oswald'slamppost...

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
