Some haiku



in-flight meal –
a kookaburra swipes
my fries - Windfall, 2015

tablet time ---
social media's
many bytes  - Windfall, 2014.

bush poets the overflow of Clancy - Prospect #5, 2015.

shiver of leaves . . .
the equivocal stance
of a deer - Kokado  2015.

distant hills...
the artist running
out of blue - The  Edge Anthology 2015

first spring day ...
birdsong unravels
my knitting - Cattails January 2016.

sanding
the knots that tie him
to his job. - in Cattails January 2016.

first school day ...
the wagtail's turn
for show and tell  - in Cattails January 2016.

moon-shadow...
facing the silhouette
of what comes next -  A Hundred Gourds  5.2, 2015.

spring cleaning
I grab a sunbeam
to polish the brass - Presence 54, 2016.

chocolate bunny . . .
so hard to remove
your silver foil -  Kokako 24, 2016.

abandoned cat . . .
the return of springtime
for a homeless man - Cattails May 2016.

air on a g string  . . .
the scribbled manuscript
of a thrush -  Frameless Sky 4, 2016.

whetstone . . .
in the carpenter's eyes
a hint of steel   - Presence 55, 2016.

Some recent published haiku

winter's fingers . . .
the blue tongue lizard
tucked up tight

flying fox night . . .
a few chirps left over
for morning

in-flight meal –
