Poem Category: Australian

On our back yard snow
crows being
the other colour.

Heat haze
a wire fence in the lake
of a mirage.

An owl hoots
hedging around shadows
the old tom cat.

Train doors spring open
the butterfly’s flutter in
finds me.

Sunset stretches
our shadows
caught underfoot.

In forest
a cat’s tail swishing
around the fog.

A jazz record–
the blues from the jacaranda
floats to the lawn.

Autumn breeze
a river cruise passed
by nothing that moves.

Patio …
listening to the autumn
crinkle leaves.

School holidays …
on their hop-scotch chalk
a stray curled dog.
