Old man in dry month
Rain rain
come and play,
stay away
another day.
Future path
The young
kangaroo
following his
mother has
no idea what his
life will be when
she finally
leaves him behind
Who watches the watcher?
Haven’t seen a
snake yet this Spring,
but that doesn’t mean
they haven’t
seen me
And then the rain came
At last, water in the sky, water on the ground, water soaking into ground, water moving into dams.
Refugee
A female Magpie
with a sore leg has
taken up residence
in our garden, using
it as a place of
sanctuary.
People, too.
Olive trees and Iris will survive in harsh conditions, but they will thrive in good conditions.
Destiny
A snake,
after spending all winter
in boring hibernation
welcomes the Sun
and warm ground of Winter
only to be smashed
on the road by a car.
But not for long
An eagle circling
on the morning air,
waiting to bring
to one rabbit
the ultimate
wake up call.
Slow moving though
I sometimes call the garden hose the orange-headed long green grass snake because … Summer.
