Poem Category: Australian

our picnic stroll
away from the others
with their school games

turning winter
dog tracks before us
down to the sea

winter breaths
in the harvest of cabbage
no conversations

hearing summer
cicadas crawl up to
the flowered red gums

The storm moves on …
passion fruits
black dots on the green lawn.

orange sunset
a honeysuckle
scents the heat

out of school
and how the swing sounds
into the river

a moon climbs
the Pine ladder
cones fall to snow

jagged rocks
a rainbow
climbs the waterfall

beside the pond
a lily
out of life-force
