sweltering hot days
have tarried in our district
prolonging the roast

Oleander blooms
bear a sweet lingering scent
e'er to remember

has taken much moisture out
of dam storages

as day progressed
the signs of good rains grew less
bush skies were cloudless

Haiku

fresh and printed new
as the glistening morn dew
tis a lovely view

old and so well worn
as the near dead cobs of corn
tis a sight forlorn

at her breast the baby
suckled with much contentment
the milk of sweet life

the suns burning rays
scorched the paddocks with their
stinging invective

encircle our township to-day
with their raining drear

man's very ruinous hand
is ever at work wrecking
our dear mother earth

Earth Day is on the 22/04/2014.

yellow breasted wrens
bobbed neath the clothesline
seeking some grass seed

heavily laden clouds*
hang their brows over the town
*readying to unload

in a frantic mode
did come the Atlantic swirl
reeking havoc's toll

the last vestiges of light
sunken to the west

out from the logs of wood
as the axe chopped

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

on the eastern range
plumes of profuse grey smoke
did rise to the sky

from tight bud jackets
camellia blooms bursted out
to show red petals

Haiku

some twenty years ago
my sister and her daughter
saw a UFO

This haiku is based on an actual event... My sister and her daughter were traveling home from a near by town at around 8:00 pm and a strange object hovered over their car as they were motoring along the road. It hovered for around two or so minutes and then shot off towards the west at a rapid speed.

looked through my west window
with a fixed gaze

slowly snaked a passage
through the wooded glen

fluffy clouds drifted
in from the western regions
as eve did approach

showed in this morning's sky
as first light dawned

waited for spring's warm caress
to unfurl its hues

summer's golden orb
stayed for many a long day
its heat so intense

sink over the horizon
night's long shadow looms

the mind's page absorbs
a dark ink of depression
so dismal in hue

o'er a length of days
fierce winds have scolded the land
they show no let up

golden leaf streamers
cascaded o'er the aspen's
tall majestic stem

with temps being so high
a body swelters in the heat
there is no reprieve

Haiku

a fast skirling wind
raced through the gumtree limbs
bending their branches

wattles are sprouting their blooms
bright yellow baubles

not to shine brightly to-day
hence the sky being grey

remained on the shoreline
telling of wave flow

out toward the west
last vestiges of day light
slowly reclined
