Poem Category: Miscellaneous

Neighbour’s dog
barking at shadows
until they come home.

Art class
a lace curtain blowing
around their nude.

Day winds down
through the stretched canvas
the sunset she is painting.

Card night
your laughs move our peanut shells
across the plastic table.

Ship rails
to the far green ocean
falling for a moment.

Currawongs call
in the meadow dew
the birth and rise of mushrooms.

Park bench
waiting for the Emperor moth
to leave first.

Village hall
first night dampens
the girl’s violin.

Office party
the little sound of a slap
sweeping around.

Morning chill
a dog barking a hole
into Sunday.
