Blogging friend, sublime poet, awesome mom and aspiring volcanologist Gabrielle Bryden has posted this found poem on her blog in response to my Search Engine Poetry challenge.
I met Gabrielle in my early days of blogging and LOVE her poetry, which ranges from the serious to the hilarious.
She also keeps us entertained with posts about her life in Queensland with her hero – Shirl, son – Michael, daughter – Tessa, and comical dogs – Jazz and Sheba, and with her photos of the weird and wonderful critters we find on this strange continent.
She has a wicked sense of humour (read her post tags) and a fighting spirit (I wouldn’t want to mess with her ;-)).
And in the 80s, she had Big Hair.
Gabrielle’s son, Michael, was diagnosed with Autism spectrum disorder at the age of 3 and she has used her experience to create an excellent resource on dealing with the challenges of Autism and Asperger’s.
Last week, Michael turned 12 and, despite the challenges he has faced, is doing very well. He takes great photos and is shaping up to be a talented horticulturalist.
Oh, and did I mention I love Gaberielle’s poetry?
Here are links to just a few of my favourites

Gabe rules. One of my all time favourite bloggers and writers. And who doesn’t love an aspiring volcanologist???
hehe, I think a rendezvous on Eyjafjallajökull for us gals should be a goal – I’ll bring the champers 😉
Sounds perfect, if unpronounceable. I’ll bring the thermals. Haha.
hahaha – bit chilly – what about Hawaii for volcanoes 🙂
Awe.
Yes 🙂
I didn’t even know you could aspire to be a volcanologist. I’m going to sit down right now and reevaluate my aspirations.
You have to be able to pronounce ‘Eyjafjallajökull’
What an interesting career path… Will check out her poetry. ;–)
That’s only the half of it 🙂 There’s an aspiring astronaut in there somewhere as well…
THOUGHT SO! :LOL:
I definitely need more than one lifetime if I am to do all these things 😉 where’s my Tardis
Thanks for highlighting Gabe’s poetry, BB.
Gabe’s a versatile poet, Nancy. Thanks.
Thanks BB for the linkies and warm fuzzies 😉 haha
Thanks for participating, Gabe 😉
Always a pleasure to have a testimonial pointing one in the direction of a new poet to read…thanks!
Thanks, Anne 🙂
Happy birthday, Bluebee! There’s a little gift waiting for you on my blog. Have a lovely day.
Thank you, dear Tilly 🙂
