Dark hallway
with a fruit bat giddy
at finding each corner square.

Garden pond
the frog slide silent
from the lily-pad.

Sensing winter
the flame trees also
litter the paths around them.

Spring begins–
spreading from the magpie
untried wings.

Clothes line – –
cormorants drying
outstretched wings.

Mother’s visit
suggesting new colours
she touches every wall.

Sail boarders
gathering the power
of the summer winds.

Auction
how the fall of the hammer
takes father’s shabby house.

This scent of rain
breaking out
the frog’s urge to mate.

Dumped bathtub
the rains turned green
in the mosquitoes’ way.
