Haiku

the sun's beaming face
did smile upon the landscape
with a bright visage

a veil of light cloud
covers the stellar shows glints
with its fine blanket

Haiku

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

in shallow waters
newly hatched fingerlings
swam with swishing tails

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

choruses of birds
sang joyfully in the tree tops
as a bright sun rose

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

a heavy sheet of frost
draped over our township
earlier this morning

night's skirling strong winds
were more subdued before
the morn's dawning light

Haiku

as last vestiges
of sun reclined westward
the day light dimmed

Haiku

Haiku

as winter sets in
village chimneys belch their smoke
more prevalently

everyday we meet
with a cocktail of chemicals
in our food and air

Haiku

horse tail clouds drifted
across the blue parchment sky
this dazzling spring day

Haiku

the sun's glowing heat
hid behind the cloud's retreat
twas not a fine treat

Haiku

to impart your love
is akin to giving life
inhale its oxygen

atop the east hills
an outer edge of sun rays
were seen early this morn

the sun has gone down
on the last days of the run
ending all her fun

Haiku

promising cloud bands
filled with a moisture salve
veer away from here

as the wind currents
are changing they indicate
a seasonal shift

Haiku

war is a madness
that causes too much sadness
let saneness prevail

Haiku

cherish what you have
as some people have not a thing
be ever grateful

Haiku

yellow daises bloom
on my dried out back lawn
yet bees reap pollen

an ill did blow in
on the east's virulent wind
carrying a malady

around the wheat field
orange winged butteries
gracefully danced

the sun's shining beams
did burnish the bushland stream
in a glossy gleam

a tempest now brews
thunder rolls o'er the township
rumbling its echo

soon we'll say goodbye
to winter's boreal order
of freezing disdain

little raindrop tears cling
to the carnation's petals
like spray on pink cheeks

a light veiling fog
loitered o'er the river
on this Thursday morn

a white coat of frost
covered the spindly grass
near our town's river

on the grass blades
tiny glass dewdrops closely clung
to reflect rainbows

the sun just peeped
out from behind swathing clouds
to show some bright rays

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

through magenta clouds
dazzling shards of eve sunlight
did cleverly cut

night's black velvet cape
spangled in stellar diamonds
twas a stunning show

beams of golden shine
rippled atop the creek's trace
glowing in shimmer

eloquently spoken
were those most silent of words
their message well heard

thick plumes of smoke
hang over the hinterland
its akin to soot

spring's vibrant colours
emerge from winter's cocoon
to show festive blooms

nippy twas the morn
as a thick sheet of frost lay
upon the bush ground

the colors of spring
emerge from winter's cocoon
of white snow wrapping

thundered through the township
tooting thunderously

her orb's silver beams
shall regale the sky's dark realm
a moon new in phase

emerged a lamplighter
shedding his bright glow

mere specks on the globe
are we yet each one of us
so significant

trees lose bark covers
like a brown snake shedding skin
to reveal new coats

on the forest floor
the dappled shadows did play
on that summer's day

received many rave reviews
was of richest red

toward western hills
the last vestiges of light
sink as day draws down

our village churchyard
is resplendent in sunlight
this Monday morning
