A day’s frosty dawn
gives no hint of midday heat
Tropical winter

999 Verandakus: #338 from Veranda Life
Hoping for blue sky
after weeks of cloud and rain
We look up again

The morning’s first chill
Warmed through by the rising sun
Shadow-cold lingers

999 Verandakus: #336 from Veranda Life
Sun and wind compete
to warm and chill my skin’s blood
Walking heat wins out

Lizards on dry leaves
make far more noise than their size
Little garden joke

999 Verandakus: #334 from Veranda Life
Bare holiday streets
invite thoughts of jaywalking
There’s no fun in it

The garden by day
A scene of earthy delight
Night secrets rustle

Today the garden
floods and ants’ nests overflow
New homes tomorrow

Dog with a big bark
Agitated as I pass
Fences make good walks

999 Verandakus: #330 from Veranda Life
Wind buffets their sides
then turns and pushes behind
Air-mugging walkers

999 Verandakus: #329 from Veranda Life
Some babies’ cries sound
like tiny drop saws through pine
Intent on cutting

999 Verandakus: #328 from Veranda Life
I step on an ant
without care – is it malice
or simple neglect?

999 Verandakus: #327 from Veranda Life
Birds chase each other
from tree tops to power poles
Perches are perches

999 Verandakus: #326 from Veranda Life
The magpies and crows
set their own standards of play
It’s all in the swoop

Shadows change at noon
The afternoon shift hovers
Leaning towards home

999 Verandakus: #323 from Veranda Life
Bushwalking in town
Around the library’s park
Reading nature’s way

The monsoon drifts south
Rivers slide over their banks
and lazily spread

Winter chill blows in
Antarctica sends greetings
The sun cools its heels

999 Verandakus: #319 from Veranda Life
A travelling slide
on its way from grandparents
A new history

999 Verandakus: #318 from Veranda Life
Foggy morning air
chills fingertips and aches bones
The sun layers off

999 Verandakus: #316 from Veranda Life
High cloud rolling in
changes today’s colour and
brings its own silence

999 Verandakus: #315 from Veranda Life
A pair of wet socks
fallen from a tradie’s truck
Their life’s purpose changed

999 Verandakus: #314 from Veranda Life
The path most travelled
is only slightly crooked
How easy the walk

999 Verandakus: #313 from Veranda Life
In the hill country
people know that what comes down
must rise again too
Friday, June 3, 2011
999 Verandakus: #312 from Veranda Life
Container lid dropped
for soup, stew, dessert inside
I’m hungry now, so …

My cat on the deck
Her paws folded so neatly
Lizards think they’re safe

999 Verandakus: #310 from Veranda Life
A march of tall shrubs
traps the morning sun’s glitter
Temporary bling
