Breathe ~ Relax ~ Drink Black Tea Often
Building its small home
one muddy drop at a time
How many bedrooms?
Recent flooding rains
leave delicate legacies
Droplets on the drip
Bug on a lunch break
Defying gravity’s pull
Down to earth cafe
Stray cat staying put
Ready for her close-up shot
Stillness becomes her
Lining the river
Four rows of tide-levelled yachts
Spinnaker longing
Wind vane pointing out
our local air currency
Negotiable blow
Before dinner’s rush
tables and chairs call meetings
to order their guests
The whitest spider
on the yellowest flower
Neither notices
On the brighter days
a shapely exhibition
Sun dependent art
Church-yard benches wait
for sitters in need of calm
Experienced wear
Petroglyph paddler
on a pebbly journey home
Pacific waving
Strangers on a tree
An up and down existence
before the branch line
Grasshopper strolling
on its way to greener fields
How much greener, though?
Latte bubbles bulge
before I take a first sip
Eyeing off my lips
In two dimensions
some three dimensional fun
Optical humor
On its river run
the ferry shearing through
Flexible textures
The furriest leaf
hosts the clearest droplet
in a rainy pinch
Behind a locked gate
monster barks distress the air
A fluff-ball’s challenge
The oldest buildings
Formerly big now little
Like our childhood homes
Past it sunflowers
attract a young cockatoo
Nature cycling through
In sleepy suburbs
the ancestry of felines
surfaces in yawns
Stone broken window
cracking hearty in its pane
Hardly shattering
The sea breeze rising
A crow hitching an airlift
Sunset silhouette
A corella flock
on their way and laughing hard
A sky pilot’s joke
Behind the facade
a back yard of other dreams
Growing new faces
Maritime tribute
anchoring remembrance for
transient traffic
Bitumen warming
on a hot Bliss Street morning
Cool cat loitering
