Poem Category: Australian

Buoy bells…
how untroubled its ride
in the swell.

Afternoon play
the pencilled dolphins
she crayons red.

After
this mountain climb
content to stare to beyond.

Such grace in flight …
the eagle so fierce
on the rabbit’s young.

Old Labrador
still finding sniffles
around the park trees.

Melt-water fishing
the rainbows in the skins
of the trout.

Sand bar
the king tide
rises over itself.

Long drought
the river banks
meet at the centre.

Misting lake
at the cabin door
tea mug warms my hands.

Thunder passes
the willow weeps
into the river.
