Poem Category: Australian

The summer day sets …
an eagle is shaping itself
on a far fiery cloud.

Street parade
leaving the balloons limp
midday summer heat.

Bedroom window
mirrored with dawn
a magpie pecking the magpie.

Winter cabin
I roll the carrot rings
into our hot busy stew.

Old sailor home…
no escaping his tall tales
for the grandchildren.

Tin roof
the sleeplessness
of leaves in the wind.

The telescope gift
no one comes to…
Saturn and its rings.

Playful !! maybe not
in and out of the pond’s reeds
dragonflies.

River rafting
in and out of the white foam
to the other side.

White with moon
the lowing cattle
wet with rain.
