Poem Category: Australian

waving goodbye
a sea breeze billows

migrating geese
the toddler points to
their flight-ways home

the butterfly farm
our daughter whispers
to one on her nose

rustling cornfield
leaving the scarecrow
in my old winter coat

our Sunday hymns
the pedal organ
getting up to speed

the afternoon flags
a windmill
flashes the sun

waterfall spray
all the mist drops
in her hair shines

found
with Laurel in the shower
a soapy back sponge

stretching out
shafts of moonlight
over Laurel’s bed

turning over
dreams of slumber
our hot humid bedroom
