Poem Category: Miscellaneous

Sensing winter
the flame trees also
litter the paths around them.

Spring begins–
spreading from the magpie
untried wings.

Clothes line – –
cormorants drying
outstretched wings.

Out of the windstorm
whistling
from the cave’s mouth.

Autumn leaves
slipping over
wet bends of the road.

Christmas gifts
white kittens
chasing snowflakes.

Mushrooms rise
from the dewy earth
its other hushed births.

Fanning around
their tails’ scent
two dogs in the park.

Winter fogs
the tightened pearly web
tightened again .

Iced drinks
the clothes-line billows
of her little black dress.
