Poem Category: Australian

Winter storm
after jogging home
to lentil soups.

Ghost town
deeper each year
the earth pollinates.

Patio winds
pruning the bonsai too
of autumn leaves.

Snow-fed falls
waters breaking
the birth of a river.

Neighbour’s son
our strawberry side
of the fence.

Rain near
a rainbow rings
the half moon.

Lukewarm
sunshine reaching
the lily-pad’s roots.

Reading my novel
neighbours move out…
next door moves in.

Summer’s end
the unsung cicadas too
beginning to die.

Ripe corn rustles
turn me around
to the scarecrow.
