I am that woman who does yoga

Then sits on the beach

Eating oranges and writing poetry

I am that woman who watches her weight

Then takes the grand kids

For pizza and icecream on Friday evening

I am that woman who listens to TED talks

And checks out youtube

For mindfulness, shamanism and grannies dancing.

I am that woman who is an almost vegan

And (you guessed already)

Compassion in World Farming is her favourite charity.

I am that woman who house-keeps carelessly

(let the spiders keep their webs)

But works her socks off professionally.

I am that woman who lives alone

(it may be wrong but feels so right)

In quirky cottage with wilderness garden.

I am that woman who has a cat

(and currently a seagull too)

Another beating heart to make a home.

I am that woman who pays men

To paint and decorate and to do

All those jobs crying out for power tools.

I am that woman who paints her toe nails

A secret that lies hidden

Beneath her stripey, eco, bamboo socks.

I am that woman

I am that woman who

I am that woman who is........

Not the end.
