Poem Category: Australian

Puddles of rain
the cattle lowing
upside down.

A Pine falls
about ten saplings
refill its place.

Rainforest
a backpacker takes
its stillness out.

Gold autumn leaves
a log in the river
hoarding its treasure.

Fumbling with keys
fumbling with locks
the child home from school.

Being summer
jelly-fish melting
above the tides.

Forest winds
only the painter’s easel
standing still.

A garden shed noise
it was then I saw
the dead spider’s eyes.

Bedside stories
the tot finding shadows
too like her dreams.

School exams …
a bi-plane’s skywriting
out the window.
