Grebe's graceful dive,
Gliding through the watery world,
A feathered dancer.

I had to look up what a Grebe was!

A comforting breakfast treat,
Starts the day right.

That all feels like a selection of marketing slogans for Ready Brek!!

Thank you to Dipity Literary Magazine for publishing my poem "Rolling Pin" in issue 4 Antique Roadship. https://www.dipitylitmag.com/

@poets

Rolling Pin by Janis La Couvée I was six when Jack Cross a logger at Kennedy Lake Camp looking to alleviate his winter boredom fashioned a rolling pin out of cherry wood gifted it to me what was a six year old to do with a rolling pin yet here it is, over sixty years later countless pies, tourtières, biscuits and cookies shaped with love recalcitrant pastry coaxed into tins hoping for a flaky crust juices abundant sealed in without overflowing edges golden brown sugar cookies decorated lavishly by small hands lofty biscuits with a tender crumb the scent of tradition tracing back through mother, grandmother and favourite aunt my kitchen treasure
Behind the Antique Backstory for Rolling Pin circa 1960 Rolling pin fashioned by a West Coast logger in his spare time. He lived at Kennedy Lake Camp (near Ucluelet) and in the evenings, worked on various woodworking projects to keep him busy. My father worked with him, and one day he gifted me this rolling pin, along with a meat tenderizer and a salad spoon. Although the meat tenderizer and salad spoon are long gone, I still use the rolling pin on a regular basis-it’s been my constant kitchen companion for over 60 years. - Janis La Couvée
Background is an image of frothy waves breaking against a rugged shore in Ucluelet, BC. The sky is clear blue. Superimposed on the image are the words Meet Janis La Couvée - ABOUT. Janis La Couvée (she/her) is a writer and poet with a love of wild green spaces, dedicated to conservation efforts in Campbell River, Canada—home since time immemorial to the Liǧʷiɫdax̌ʷ people. Her work is published by Dreamers Magazine, Litmora Literary Magazine, Book of Matches, New Feathers Anthology, Pure Slush, New York Writers Coalition, Paddler Press, Feral Poetry, Van Isle Poetry Collective, Island Writer, Humana Obscura and pocket lint.

Patched together with love's touch,
Quilt's comforting embrace.

An absolute asset is the recent online haiku magazine 'haikuNetra', curated by Daipayan Nair.
Issue 1.5 is online now, with two truly amazing haiku by @alansummers @haikutec.
I feel honoured that three of my haiku have been chosen.

Short days, snowflakes fall,
Camellia's bloom, a fleeting grace,
Hunters seek their prey,
Sparrows gather 'round the bonfire's glow,
Mountain's peak, a beacon bright.

A weekly tanka whilsts I wait for timezones to catch up!

Sparrow hops from twig to twig,
