Morning walk 1: poem
Blotchy-trunked gum trees
cluster in the morning,
lean and lanky
as adolescent boys
in school assembly.

The Mirror: poem
I fought
the sightless beast
with sword and wit
and still my foe
matched every move
Until
in exhaustion
we dropped as one
pressed cheek to cheek
in self-defeat.

Vivid: poem
Just before lights out
the pink and blue striped pyjamas
of the Winter sky
shamelessly vivid
like early jasmine on grey, drab days
before Spring arrives.
