Poem Category: Australian

Being dragon eyed
the gulls frightened
by his kite.

Whale watch
one wave rising
out of the blue.

Country road
kicked from its belly
an ancient quartz stone.

Rain forest
all the edges blurred
green.

Found on the lawn
just the smell of dog
in her dressing gown.

In fog
the quick brush with ferns
a touch of birds.

In sunrise…
a frog on a lily-pad
green of itself.

Bay shallows
stabbing for any young thing
the old man Ibis.

The peddle canoes
gathered to rest
at low tide.
