Poem Category: Australian

pond mist
being alone
in the voice of the frog.

snow falls
such afar away budding
to the cherry trees.

Fallen sugar-gum
almost forgotten by the earth
being bathed in moonshine.

Dim subway
young police
half bent over the bag-lady.

Kindergarten gate
a heart cries
a heart dies.

Below sound
but the bull-ants have found
the fallen fledgling.

Rainbow lorikeets leave
the sugar-gum breeze…
a feather floats.

White with moon
the lowing cattle
wet with rain.

River rafting
in and out of the white foam
to the other side.

Playful !! maybe not
in and out of the pond’s reeds
dragonflies.
