Cold persimmon tree
dropped all its clothes; underneath,
a scarlet robin
Naked
canberra
Black shouldered kite
Edged in golden light
watching the river valley
the hovering kite

Listen to the rain for your answers
A glimpse of yellow
Dark messengers in grey skies
Ancient cries foretell
Old limbs
Hobbling in the cold
I watch cockatoos chew through
knobbly old branches
Still pond
A tiny ripple
remains where the dragonfly
kissed her reflection
New year
New year's dawn
a warbler sings its heart out
undaunted
Spring rain
Cockatoos fly home
earlier than yesterday -
the smell of Spring rain
Dotterel
Alert and wide-eyed
Faster than a roadrunner
Legs ablur; worm lunch

Solstice
Purple solstice sky -
my only companion is
a fluffed up magpie
Winter robins
the dappled path -
poking under melting frost
yellow robins
