on scheduled prowl
rubbish truck spins debit
into credit

thorny hammer thuds...

thorny hammer thuds
rosy pulse of
new beginnings

the bottom step...

the bottom step
rhythms of the earth are near
and freshly mowed grass

incessant cold rain...

incessant cold rain
a whole week to enjoy
friendly warm books

yin and yang...

morning has broken ... sweet
and so has my percolator ... sour...

old man by the sea...

old man by the sea
a picture of his wife
tucked under his arm

blistered seascape...

blistered seascape
waves ravage
tired sands

lanky winter twigs...

lanky winter twigs
tirelessly engrave grey moods
fine look-outs for birds

whirling frothy whites...

whirling frothy whites
madly ice throbbing waves
the art of spindrift

anxious autumn leaf...

anxious autumn leaf
sleepy mother tree wills
her child to feel free

slowly breathing fluff...

slowly breathing fluff
soaking in loved midday warmth
from paws to soul

motionless waters...

motionless waters
weekend afternoon
drained of loud highways

if only...

right turn
sparkling winter sunlight
lambent white clouds in gleaming blue skies
the lure of bush scents
fridge and cupboards empty
no coffee
sabotage
left turn

soiled rosebuds...

soiled rosebuds
winter winds and hail 
twist 
life colours
into parchment

gangling winter shadows...

gangling winter shadows
cockatoo scuttles rosellas
in his scrap of sunlight

stinging glare...

stinging glare
sun-drenched smooth waters
belie sharp winter

popcorn catkins...

popcorn catkins
silent tubular bells
ring in spring winds
