reviewing poems
before the winter solstice…
blackbirds in a pair
beneath Japanese maples
help this rake tidy leaves
- Contingent Street, Trafalgar, VIC
bird-count day
inside this breeding season –
magpies swooping
in low from behind
to keep our numbers up
- Waterloo Road, Yarragon, VIC
fleet of hand
his watercolour wash
free with golds
as trunks for snow gums
with reds as wine at dinner
- Mt Baw Baw Alpine Resort, VIC
on rusty tracks
along a Far North railroad
bounced about
with seatbelt-lights back on
such turbulence flying south
- Atherton Tablelands, QLD
