Poem Category: Australian

Rain whispers
the tin coloured lake
surrounds our canoe.

Still hovering
pinnacles of pampas grass
the dragonfly.

Pink bedroom
letting her kitten catch
the wall’s torchlight.

Passing storm
at the dark edge
of the rainbow.

Being dragon eyed
the gulls frightened
by his kite.

Dirt road
the tall grass swishes
of a quick brown snake.

Mangrove mud
the slither of a snake
from the sunlight.

Waterfall …
without the sun to dry us
it was then Laurel laughed.

We have the same thoughts
picking her passionfruit vine
… grandmother’s jam.

Sun-bright blue
the jacaranda’s carpet
on the swimming pool.
