Wrapped chocolate box
the discounted price
catches her eye.

Lily pad
pink for the moment
a breeze lifts its skirt.

Distant thunder
behind dripping trees
shadows of the red apples.

Summer afternoon
still pencilled on the stone
yesterday’s haiku.

School holidays
spitting on her daughter
to wipe the rouge away.

Elections
around the public speaker
his stretched coat.

Shopping with mum
dragged behind the tot
her naughty doll.

Wind in my hair
sunset clings
to the sea-eagle’s back.

Tiny scolding tot
her old dog’s laziness
in the midday shade.

Perspiration
spots darken the wood
in the spinning lathe.
