The bubbles in my bath are white;
try as I might
they never change
despite a range
of gels and goos in rainbow hues -
pinks, greens and blues.
The chemists say
it’s child’s play
to reproduce the scent of fruits,
herbs, flowers and roots.
But still the foam
is monochrome.
En route to South America in the late 80`s, Gwyneth stopped off in Spain to learn some Spanish. Victim of emotional inertia, she has so far failed to achieve escape velocity. She now runs her own design and editorial consultancy where she has been known to turn her hand to anything from book-keeping to programming by way of project analysis, translation and copywriting. When time permits, she writes poetry and does literary translations. She plans to catch a plane to Patagonia `maƱana`.
