Poem Category: All

Little reaching fingers

the bread‘s butter-side up

so close on the floor.

Cheval mirror

Tangerine twirling

in her long lemon dress.

Currawongs call…

in the meadow dew

the birth and rise of mushrooms.

Midnight turns

a cricket in the walls

of wake and sleep.

His office

next to the water-cooler

she smooths her skirt.

Grandparent‘s day

tiny tickled giggles

from the bassinet.

Sudden storm

a tumble of rose leaves

down the crushed-brick path.

Distant thunder

hailstones still melting

from the sparrow‘s nest.

Sunlit lake

the salmon swallows in

from the hole it just made.

Dance auditions

the winter window

polishing their shoes.
