Breathe ~ Relax ~ Drink Black Tea Often
A humble pumpkin
on Hallowe’en with all souls
Soup on the menu
Early Spring morning
A hard-working butterfly
Chrysalis broken
Chrysalis hanging
Waiting for its biggest day
Thin skin thick enough
Vegemite toast treat
Buttery salty crunchy
A piecework breakfast
The hottest Spring day
brings dry then heavy weather
Jumping Spider blues
New season’s cherries
Inedible all the same
Passing trade may bite
Spinning up its web
with overlocker stylings
Spidery stitches
A droplet’s downside
after its shining hello
Unpredictable
Cat on a table
and delicately grooming
cheesecake memories
Old cold water tap
Oasis with a drip dish
Suburban dog stop
Wasp on the window
longing for the great outdoors
Slowly sliding glass
Tiniest spider
of the prettiest colours
Not flaunting, jumping
Summarised stories
of lives lived and lost sooner
Quietly aging
After dawn’s foglift
Cemetery standing stones
Subtitled Stonehenge
Choosing a spice mix
for recipe-free cooking
Pinches and smidgins
Sea shells arriving
from everywhere else to
rest a while with us
The seagull triplets
waiting for the tide to turn
or fish and chip scraps
Satellite dish chair
receives nothing but sun rays
Static-free content
Path to salvation
Grassy invitations from
stony honour guards
Salady mixture
plated up with laughing flair
Hunger disturbing
Language of lichen
spoken in rooftop blotches
Hurrying on down
A puffball fright wig
Innocently stretching out
Scaring passing bugs
Slicing an onion
opening layers to light
and eyes to tears
Low tide paints beach stripes
on salty water colours
Diluted by sand
Gaggle of petals
spreading every which way
Their centre holds fast
Cucumber peeling
Green upon green upon green
Seedy difference
Freshly faked flowers
Left for long dead family
Resilient love
Corn cobs steaming heat
Niblets yellowly glowing
Butter tan waiting
Australian church yard
copycats English cousins
until the fog lifts
A fog-bagged church bell
Silent on a sunless day
Ring cycle snoozing
Disguised as a leaf
Colour matched, fatter than most
Caterpillar spy
