a sole butterfly
lightly pirouettes around
the floral garden

the new year's pages
shall soon unfold for sighting
what will they tell us?

many dappled shadows
played on the forest's floor
as light winds did blow

on the footpath's grass
a pair of magpies forage
for delicious worms

slowly the fog creeps
in our township's sleeping streets
dense is its heavy shroud

blustering winds blow
with vigor across the plains
stirring dust plumes

Haiku

her bloom smells e'er sweet
yet when she turns into fruit
there's a bitter taste

Haiku

the sky this very day
did don a cape of dull grey
so drab the display

by morrow's morning
there'll be a brighter dawning
with sunlight spawning

flashes of lightning
are piercing through the window
like a neon sign

Haiku

as intense sunlight
cut through the forest's canopy
it left dappled shade

truth's flood of bright light
shall expose evil forces
who are now at play

this morning the sun
glares with a dazzling stare
that blinds the viewer

a light mist tarried
o'er the verdant river flats
as first light did break

the Empire shall fall
as it said so on a wall
outside the townhall

presides o' er our region
in indigo rule

immense flames of fire
keep eating California's
forested landscape

carpets of green grass
lay across the countryside
lush in coverage

Haiku

the neighbor's little pooch
just cocked his leg to ****
on the pub's back fence

bright shining lanterns
hang from wattle tree branches
along the Gap road

magenta billows
bedecked the morning skies
in a lipstick pink

morn's cold sheet of frost
shall cover our small township
in an icy freeze

as the clock of life
ticks away its years advance
unto a dotage

hang their brows over the town

the pitter patter
of soothing rain drops will send
one off to slumber

o'er the black sea sky
a huge silvery moon sailed
throughout the long night

Haiku

a gleeful trilling
emanated from the tree clumps
robins were singing

as the wind currents
are changing they indicate
a seasonal shift

the sky this very day
has a humdrum appearance
it's shaded in grey

the wind's tempo has grown more
by eve she'll blow well

a brilliant blue sky
gave cause for the birds to sing
in joyous chorus

Haiku

a scowling wind blows
through the tall timber masts
their boughs left rankled

shadows now lengthen
as last streams of glinting light
ebb in the bushland

on the forest floor
dappled shadows frolicked
in a playful way

spring's seasonal hue
didst come in a primrose bloom
of vibrant pink blush

along the shoreline
the lovers slowly walked
on that moonlit night

with a ***** sear
the sun scorched the landscape
in fervent ardor

lulling soft droplets
fell upon the old tin roof
slumbering my eyes

on the forest floor
bark twigs and leaf matter lay
they'd soon be compost

afore the rains fell
river dwelling frogs croaked
in a profuse thrum

coursed beneath the landscape
quaking all above

spring's color palette
paints a resplendent canvas
of floral glories

a faint pencil line
marks dusk's far off horizon
in day's curtain close

volleys of thunder
rolled across the vast skies
resounding their blasts

the New England's hilly landscape
will wear fall robes

in effervescent color
she's spring's rainbow girl

the gift of flourishing growth
upon the landscape

gelid wind blusters
drove a freezing current's trail
through the snow clad dales

implored him to kiss them
with exuberance

on higher regions
of the tablelands this very night
snow flurries will fall

bronze coloured leaves
hung from the oak tree's branches
as Greek medallions
