Trip now at an end
Homeward bound, fish tail, side swipe
Crash Bang; Nerves aflutter
An explanation: This is the final haiku for the writing challenge. I have never attempted these before but I can see the beauty in them and have enjoyed the challenge. I have been travelling and it has been a perfect quick post for intermittent internet access. All the haikus have been about my trip. This final one I would have preferred not to have had the experience but thanks to mobile phones I got emergency services on the scene very quickly and the trapped woman was airlifted out and according to coverage in the newspaper online is going to make a recovery from abdominal and leg injuries. The truck driver and husband had minor injuries. If that had not been the case I would not have posted this one.

About Irene Waters 19 Writer Memoirist
I began my working career as a reluctant potato peeler whilst waiting to commence my training as a student nurse. On completion I worked mainly in intensive care/coronary care; finishing my hospital career as clinical nurse educator in intensive care. A life changing period as a resort owner/manager on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu was followed by recovery time as a farmer at Bucca Wauka. Having discovered I was no farmer and vowing never again to own an animal bigger than myself I took on the Barrington General Store. Here we also ran a five star restaurant. Working the shop of a day 7am - 6pm followed by the restaurant until late was surprisingly more stressful than Tanna. On the sale we decided to retire and renovate our house with the help of a builder friend. Now believing we knew everything about building we set to constructing our own house. Just finished a coal mine decided to set up in our backyard. Definitely time to retire we moved to Queensland. I had been writing a manuscript for some time. In the desire to complete this I enrolled in a post grad certificate in creative Industries which I completed 2013. I followed this by doing a Master of Arts by research graduating in 2017. Now I live to write and write to live.
