‘Black snow’ again,
a sudden attack
out of nowhere.
Shut the car window!
They’re burning the cane.

rain rain rain
the paddocks are lakes
the creeks overflow
I drive in the dark
on a narrowed road

The day so far
Take man for blood test,
walk briskly by river bank,
trip and nearly fall,
write and mail urgent letter,
forget to create tanka....

in the sky
there are many dragons
but they hide
they pretend to be clouds
angels do that too
21/10/10
I’m lying in bed
reading a tale of dragons.
I must get up, must
put the cacti back outside:
daylight-safe from gekko bites.
******************
Spring morning.
The promise of cool showers.
A few warm moments
fire our anticipation
of long, hot days. Come, Summer!

I ... entered the poem of life, whose purpose is ... simply to witness the beauties of the world, to discover the many forms that love can take. (Barabara Blackman in 'Glass After Glass')
These poems are works in progress and may be updated without notice. Nevertheless copyright applies to all writings here and all photos (which are either my own or used with permission).
