Poem Category: Australian

summer breaths–
the magnolias swaying
in the scented rain

down spirals
to ebbs of the tide
the bay’s pelicans

a misty rain stops–
a butterfly enters
the door of our train

shooting ducks
one drowns
before the retriever bites

forest walk
my fear faced
in the spider webs

moon shine…
its orbit contriving
the ebb of tides

the rain stopped–
the ants being rushed
by the sunshine

trellis grapes–
each globe ripened
with summer

half-drowned in the weir
cray-fish feelers
at the tops of my legs

an alley cat
moves with the umbrella
in the rain
