Let’s write together! I'm on my way to Coffee & Thyme on stunning island of Gili Trawangan, off the coast of Lombok, Indonesia.
✍️☕️📚🌴

I’d be honored to welcome you to a poetry circle - creativity, connection & community this Thursday June 18th at 10am.

Poets, wanderers, first-timers & seasoned voices alike, through guided prompts, we’ll explore what wants to surface in the moment, then share if you feel called. Bring an original piece, a poem that moves you, or simply bring yourself, create & listen.

This is a space for woven through language, coffee, the rhythm of the sea & the special horses of this idyllic island.



Please reserve your place via Eventbrite as spaces are limited. Link in bio.

I look forward to meeting you where the words begin.

With warmth, Melissa ✨️💖✨️

Thank you, poets - 

To every new face and every regular who joined this morning’s monthly Meditative Poetry Writing Circle - thank you for bringing your words, your quiet, and your warmth.

We started with silence. 

We ended with fire.  

Here’s the poem we wrote together:

The fire within us

The fire within me  
wakes up  
when we’re cocooned together bonding, knees tucked  
dun coloured throws pulled up  
faux fur trim brushing your cheek  
hands held around a warm cup.

The world is cold out  
yet you radiate warmth  
mixing morning cacao  
steam curling soft  
I sink into velvet ash pillows  
a bed of warmth  
we built from kindling  
trust, presence  
the fire catches  
unconditional friendship  
woodfire pops  
marshmallows blush  
sugary candy scent  
sweetens the air  
something swaddling gold  
a familiar light  
sun stars bodies  
just us, held.

The fire within me, free.

Your presence made the room glow. New or regular, you all belong here. 

Our next circle is on July 18th.

I look forward to a warm hug, Melissa

Decisions!? ☕️🍰 Which piece of art shall I choose? Brunetti Oro 1956 Carlton, where the rich aroma of authentic Italian espresso meets a gallery of masterfully crafted dolci. ☕️✨

Sitting amid the gentle hum of Melbourne’s iconic café culture planning for this weekend’s poetry circle back in Perth Kinky Lizard.
My delicate, yes I chose pistachio, pastry here tells a story of tradition, passion, and artistry, like the verses we write together in our meditative circles. Yum! Let the indulgence begin.

Above the clouds, where silence lives ✈️☁️ ❤️✍️📚

My favourite view will always be this one: out the window of a plane. The world shrinking, worries dissolving, and everything below turning into art.

Here’s a little poem I wrote, inspired by one of my most favourite books

The Art of Travel - travelling places 

There are 
few seconds in life
more releasing 
or pleasing 
than when a plane ascends to the sky.

As I fly 
things of familiar size
shrink
as I can now think 
I rise
fluently free
of a life wherein 
I sometimes hide
somewhat disguised.

Up here 
in an altered atmosphere 
my mind opens
wanders without impediment
unrestrained
swift ascent 
shifts in our lives
imagine
surge above free 
from perceived
that which once loomed over me 

Above 

I look down from
the window of a plane
my eye attempts 
to match what it can see
with what my mind knows 
should be 
could be there all along
If I look hard 
(hidden from sight)
our lives this small
(world welive in)
we almost never see
would be there all along.

Partially found poem
P40 Alain de Botton
The Art of Travel

Some views don’t just show you the world. They show you yourself.

What’s your favourite view that always resets you?

i can do small talk, if we have to ...

✨️📚 This is my poem for display at the upcoming Alone, Together - Interactive Exhibition on Modern Loneliness. I can't be there in person to read it, so here it is.

For months it’s lived in the space between what’s said & what’s felt
about the ache of being surrounded & unseen & the words we use to keep the silence at bay.
Now, it will have a voice.

I’m unveiling it as part of Alone, Together
A night to sit with the parts of us we don’t usually name.
Grateful to be showing alongside

🗓️ Thu, 18 Jun · 5:30pm – 10:30pm*
📍 The Meeting Place, Fremantle
Via humantix

If you’ve ever mastered small talk but felt miles from connection, come sit with us. Let’s be alone, together.

I hope it reminds you to let the 'big talk' take a breathe ✨️🙏
