haiku  of Maureen



hiking alone -
the creak
of karri trees


school tuck-shop –
a drone of bees
by the bubblers


rejection letter –
the willy-wagtail
flicks its tail


river boat's wash -
ducks flying
in formation


night concert -
the waving
of tree shadows


river froth blowing -
white cockatoos
in a cloudy sky


lunch on the river -
seagulls circle
the boat


river cruise
ducks glide over
the ferry's wake


lunch on the river
three upturned
duck's tails

still river
swan glides
through a tree fork
