in the late arvo sky.

A stubbie glistens
in the last light of day.
promises raised high

White Elephant

white elephant blue
tell me what I mean to you -
bright unlikely hue

Paper Boat

by this way
each new day
I let float

my paper boat

down a fast
running stream
that holds no dreams

Pact, The

would you
for the love of
me
tie this lace
upon a tree

when the wind
upon it blows
my heart
on yonder river flows

Test

a harrowed ref equals
photojournalist's bucket
communicating targetted
wishes - blank images
source of imaginings

Sighing

bending on the bank
of a winsome river
a weepy willow
sighed:
'Oh for the day
that I my tears
again may find...'

again
wanting
again
waiting....

Kindred Poets

`

probably a kinsman
sanguinely perhaps
but by pen more so
is he that writes
to express his soul
to annoy himself so
