Poem Category: Australian

Red dirt road
in dried cracked puddles
the midday sun.

Joined by snow
the field’s wildflowers
ragtime in a breeze.

Midnight
tomcat re-scenting
the scent of the dog.

In far away hills
whistling
the wheat train’s descent.

One star
in their minds
guiding geese.

Curve of a rainbow
the lisp of the child
counting the colours.

The scent of Pines …
stooped in the clearings
spotless skies.

Coloured balloons
tied to the front fence …
the birthday ones.

In Gum trees
the shape of a girl smoking
… the fog shifts.

Evenings wings
two upside down clouds
across the lake.
