Something funIf you would like to have F U N,
When shall we?
Shall we climb into some trees and
Seep our emotions into the autumn leaves?
Follow their transition along the seasons
And cuddle our nervous excitement through
Columns of xylem...

Round-a-boutBicycles go around, then a car.
A red car with yellow and white lights.
Yellow streaks, oh actually,
They are quite like an alveolus.
What fun looking at a single speck of
The city or village or town!
Friends of...

The Life AcrosticLasting in summer's gleam, my childhood's delight.
In autumn's hug, I seek insight.
Fulfilling longing dreams, spring blooms lively.
Entering into winter, life bids me goodnight.

The Last Leaf
I smile at myself
for being so sentimental,
but how lonely it looks -
the last leaf
on the cherry tree.
Its countless companions
who shared and hung together
through months of heat,
furious winds and battering hail,
have all let go.
And...

Leaves
There's nothing left of Autumn but the leaves
They swirl and scatter, meet then disengage
The moon shines silver footlights in the sheaves
and turns the marble court into a stage
She draws the curtains when she starts to...

Mushroom Picking
In the cool of an autumn morning
my father and his friend,
Jimmy Kerin, would go
mushroom picking in paddocks
way out past the last suburban fence.
I would tag along not to pick
but feel the freedom of...

Dead of Fall
Dead of Fall
In gathering storm clouds, Fall whispers its dread,
Cold tendrils coil, as life's colors shed.
Once vibrant hues, now wilt and fade,
As darkness creeps in, a cold, silent grave.
The trees shudder from...

The Forgotten Child of the Four SeasonsWinter slowly wakes with an ice-cold nose.
Spends much of its time sneezy winds it blows.
Spring’s wardrobe full of floral foulard feigns change.
Dresses then frolics in daydreams of blue-sky mountain range.
Summer stands tall at...

Serenade for The Trees
The trees are beginning
to turn inward towards sleep
and are letting go of leaves
dressed in their funereal finery
of yellow, orange and red.
They fall like severed wings.
The heavy shade
that for months has kept
the avenue cool in...

Changing gearsWhen mankind has been using gears, levers and pulleys,
For thousands of years,
To speed things up,
Or slow things down,
To make it possible to take heavier loads uphill,
And to go faster on straight roads.
Then came clocks to...

You Fell Like October RainYou fell in October, like autumn leaves
Funny it was a hot day.
The avocado tree was budding.
I knew you only a short while,
But it broke me to see your mother cry.
She was inconsolable.
And I thought I...

Fall Song with Joanna Daniel
Fall flourishes with flighty flair,
a silent song upon the air.
Melody of fading ember,
all in spirit, rhythm, and timbre.
In Her heart, a tenuous tune
flirting with a bold maroon moon.
She has not sung this song before,
an unearthly,...
