Poem Category: Australian

Mind full
our tom cat stepping
behind the magpie’s warble.

Sunset darkens
nearly at the snake’s young
the school boy’s stick.

First snow…
a newcomer taking
our poker night wins.

Used car yard
winter dinting us
with hail and rust.

Tripped by a log
half-way to joining the stars
the flash of my torch.

Sun-bright blue
the jacaranda’s carpet
on the swimming pool.

We have the same thoughts
picking her passionfruit vine
… grandmother’s jam.

Sketched
before corruption
the fruit bowl’s apple.

The river forks …
pondering a while
in our picnic canoe.

Home from the heat
high heels kicked
into the corner.
