Poem Category: Australian

kid’s beach picnic
every rock pool
becoming a sea

flat tyre
changed too close
to speeding cars

stiff with frost
I lift the webs
she bobs under

afternoon prize
we paddle beside
a porpoise

horizon Sun
tacking starboard
to the darker shore

absolutely wrong
the ooze of strawberries
between the hail

picket fence
the rainbow shimmered
back of a crow

I savaged the river
till my end of days
a Pike!

Mum’s table
the sandpapered camphor
exudes its scent

snow between the trees
he leaves moonlight
the scent of fox
