old town hall
silence glides over
the empty dance floor
marshmallows melt
over the campfire
ghost stories
motionless
in the river, and then
the log blinks
Martina Taeker
companion call
of mystery bird —
my squeaky pack
miles flow under the runner’s shadow
Andrew Reeves
morning frost -
a ball of tawny feathers
wtih two tails
backyard pool -
the ripple of shadows
under the eaves
mardi gras
a crested pigeon
fans its tail
Quendryth Young
spring squall
bright ties snap
from dark suits
we shelter
beneath our sunhats
spring rain
Jo McInerney
winter grass
the wheeling kestrel’s
russet back
midday hush
sound of the cow
breathing
bush track
my puppy runs towards
a lyre bird’s whistle
roosting doves
the goanna’s claws sunk
into the bark
Nathalie Buckland
full moon
the sideshow alley clowns
open-mouthed
polite ‘good mornings’
from a building crew
… autumn
rehab courtyard
a dry leaf shuffles
in circles
Lorin Ford
Easter Moon
easter moon
flowers dying on
a roadside cross
holiday cubby
kids nail boards
to a tree
alfresco
candlelight flickers
on fish
stained glass
sunlight through haloes
on the altar boy’s head
easter moon
the collection plate
overflows
carving easter lamb
the smell of incense
and rosemary
easter egg hunt
tents scattered
under the trees
monday
hot cross buns cold
in the garbage
