Poem Category: Australian

Corn field
a rider parts
the ocean.

Gentle waves
rolled in scarlet
sunset.

Hot north winds …
hosing her herb garden
she uncurls leaf after leaf.

Waterfall spray
under the cover of dusk
Laurel showering.

Far horizon
in the breeze a magpie
pecks the scarecrow’s eye.

Midnight breeze
rustling other leaves
an owl arrives.

Museum
my daughter and I
share the world going past.

Ascending lark
the marmalade cat
too thin from kittens.

How knuckle hard
is the full moon
in the pond of ice.

Ghost town
the drought-thin trees
of its surrounds.
