Poem Category: Australian

autumn leaves fall
the rise of tones rising
from the wind chime

hail storm
I look outside
my quieter face

a feather falls
the geese remembered
their long travelled paths

tooth fairy
the smile across
my daughter’s sleep

helpless green grub
watching its attack
from the bull-ants

butterfly book
after she colours one
one arrives

an eagle long-cry
hooked as the beak
it lives by

Easter eggs
the sweet tot smiles
how many she has

verandah
my nap and hers
spring breezes

butterfly chase
their free bold flitters
my daughter runs with
