Frost
on a chill morning
a crisp sheet of white frosting  
coating the paddocks

Play
warmed earth from blue skies 
falling down flat in long grass 
my whole self laughing
we had the best fun playing 
hide and seek in hay paddocks

September Spring
Tui birdsong starts again, melodious warbling 
              bitter southerly wind still bites 
              sleet, horizontal and cold, flattens the daffodils
sudden rays of bright warm sunshine 
race over paddocks
              vivid green grass juxtaposes clear blue sky
Earth warms...

Premium Member Petrichor
The noise of it falling
Comes closer on the wind
Louder
Brisker
As if the two have mated
And birthed that funky smell
Of Petrichor
Oh we have
Met before
The smell
Well remembered
After long hot summers
In brown dry paddocks
Frightening dry forest floors
A welcome smell
To bring relief
To all...

Premium Member A Lay For a Day In May
Day I've known in early Autumn
You are spring in winter long thought on
How truth differs; three have I known
Two hemispheres I now call home
German day in such heavy leaf
British may I've known of chief.
Aus May mists and paddocks longer
Cross roads Albury Wodonga
Mays, holding notes in my life's song....

Australia In the Sun
Lonely trees on lonely roadsides
In dusty paddocks scarce water to abide
A hot dry northerly blows from the red centre
Gives no relief from the summer’s measure

Kangaroos lie in the gum tree’s shade
Idling the long hours in a lazy escapade
An emu flock gathers slowly walking across the road
An ancient land in a tough abode.

July Winter Storm
trees along the fence line strain
stretched tight by the wind
turning inside and out 
leaves in all directions 
buffeting and thrashing in the howling gale 

sheets of horizontal rain hammer the paddocks 
through the knee deep mud 
sodden cowprints overflow with water
       
still the rain pours down uncontrollably
and the wind roars over the hills
scarred with open clay slips 

raincoat and gumboots 
barely visible in the gloom 
the farmer trudges home 
after evening milking...
