It was one of the coldest winters, yet 
the old dog never showed up at the kitchen door 
like he used to, whimpering to be let in 
for warmth and food. 

Where he spent his...

Lockdown over, I had to head to school
my pupils waiting to learn the golden rule
I got ready and put on that mask
following the health protocols is a must
How would I each word articulate?
and those whole...

Many an angel does wear white,
Though the flawless, blinding, perfect cloth
Is seldom a part of the celestial uniform.

True angelic attire is as often as not
A bloodflecked smock
Inhabited by a cranky, caring cynic
Bent on saving you...

You ask if my home caught on fire and I only have sixteen minutes to gather those things that I treasure; what seven things would I hurriedly carry off with me.

The first thing I would...

Fog is a folded shadow cast on a concrete wall
Dim lights fall to the dirty pavement drains
As rain sweeps up around the gutter rims
Along the open cracks a mist fills in
In currents rippled, diamond tumbled...

My favorite wild animal is 
as strong as Hulk Hogan
and eats fresh quail.


She is as strong as 
Chuck Norris, and Rocky,
and they fly faster than mail.


My favorite animal makes a 
hungry cheetah look unnaturally slow.

It's passing strange;
I never liked bees very much.
--thought them ugly, mean and hazardous.
But now they disappear, 
together with the crops dependent
on them to survive. My sentiments
have crossed the battlefield and joined
a more quixotic enemy--one who...

WHEN ALL THE WORLD'S AT SLUMBER

When I am up, the whole world snores.
No-one dares to stir.
Seems that I am the only one
To have escaped this sleeping
World.!

No hustle-bustle in the air,
I breathe in the silence deep.
While...

POSSUM SONG

You are the same possum
I saw eating my garbage
like a recluse,
your long pointed snout
hissing at me through your teeth.

When I first saw you
I backed away
and quickly closed my door,
my legs still shaking
as if I'd...

To hell with them! I never think of them 
I forget they exist, until I spot them 
Then I get mad!

Oh yes, I loathe them so, as much as I do roaches
I loathe them so...

A midnight pearl awakes me from my slumberous sleep
Deep within my psyche a waking poem begins to creep
Climbing from my earth bound mind the words begin to seep
Many have said, beware my dreams, as strange...

Waiting, waiting and waiting
It’s like a drug to put you to sleep
A drug that will try and strain your confidence
A journey that will stress your mind and muscles as well.
Indeed waiting has a few friends
They...

So now there falls the longest dark,
The hours of stars and cold
That in their icy silence reign
Above a world full dropped to rest..
The winds carry off another year
As the newborn next  comes stealing in.

I blame Australia for bagging you. 
What is bigger than friends, tell me, 

A continent; a beach house flat – 
Room enough for a pony?

Even the beautiful pond house
Couldn’t keep you. 

Although big enough to...

So what's your status,
Nimbostratus?
Are you here to stay, like old Aunt Gladys?
- To rain and rain until we're glad it's
Not for you to own the day,
But eventually must fade away
Before the steady strugglings of the...

There are many bones in the lake.
King Fishers and Great Blues
carry the small ones away
to weave them into platforms
high in the wind whisked sky.

They are always looking for more,
so also is the fisherman with his...

Distant prayers echo through a lilac sky
light flickers brilliantly in angelic eyes
a yellow crocheted blanket falls to the floor
and a growing heart winks inside.

Kindness breeds kindness in a precious heart
and a kindred spirit lifts and...

The golden lyre’s majestic, light accords
Exalt the song which Nature’s voice affords
And carry off to meadows near and far
The wondrous sound of Juno’s soft guitar. 

In river valleys and on golden hills,
Where spring’s young fragrance...

Tailspin wishes delicately lost in the wind
Called out but whisper was after the crash
Chaos so beautiful it forms part of the clouds
Drifts on forever out of ears reach

Raindrops share watered down reminiscences 
Puddles placate with...

A clouded mind
wandering the
streets
alone
A lost soul
Found gazing
at the sky with
nowhere to run, nowhere
to hide
There's always a truth inside 
of a lie
that a candle
burns away
Tear drops fall
down like
rain
The
Flooding
Creeks
the flooding
lakes, they all went
to the four corners of
