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...

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...

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...
