One Sol

I missed my midday Summer skies

In the noon-grey of my long Julys

When days stopped short and dark dragged on

And I'd stay yet hide, though my leaves had died

Joe-Peep

Papa Joe-peep has missed his sheep

And doesn’t know where to mind them

Make a new home and stay not alone

Awaiting their turns beside them

River Time

No sorries. No worries

Just joeys. Just Chloe's

It’s okay. It’s today

Tomorrow’s past will never last

My Roses

My roses were dead

My heart was blue

Was barely a beat

When I met you

In The End

Stars Shine

Sun is Fine

Time is Light

God is Mine

The Marks of Abel

An eastern barred and banned coot

Which hide in grass by day

Standing out in standing hay

Was spotted prey for sport and loot

Tumble Man

I pray to be a stone

Smooth by wear and chance

Exposing mineral bone

That makes the colours dance

Browns Tide

I am a river widening

Flowing to the sea

No one sees me emptying

The opening in me

The Nutter

The gumnut is my tree

Not tall and reaching far

Nor waving all about

Like a blowing, creaking lout
