Hobbling in the cold
I watch cockatoos chew through
knobbly old branches

Hobbling in the cold
I watch cockatoos chew through
knobbly old branches
A tiny ripple
remains where the dragonfly
kissed her reflection
New year's dawn
a warbler sings its heart out
undaunted
Cockatoos fly home
earlier than yesterday -
the smell of Spring rain
Alert and wide-eyed
Faster than a roadrunner
Legs ablur; worm lunch

Purple solstice sky -
my only companion is
a fluffed up magpie
the dappled path -
poking under melting frost
yellow robins
the churning ocean -
oystercatchers examine
the eroded shore
Dawn lights the lake
Boats float with reflections
Of autumn balloons
Small, feathered and masked
Alert… darting through foliage
A brave flash of red
