Torque, by Jeff Cann:-
Tough torque, by DD
pity, be damned
ridicule, kick to the curb
discharge the bullies
A weather update for Anastasia
https://anastasiakalantzi50.wordpress.com
autumn sky above
layers removed as it warms
southern clime comfort
The opening
just so weather
with steady but coaxing rain
yields morning glory
On pause
blackwood fire station
mercifully not needed
this cool autumn day
Life in a hollow
native honey bees
better than glow in the dark
silver silhouettes
Sturt gorge local
sleepy koala
high but secure in a tree
ignores keen tourists
Culture cliff note:
koalas are thought to be in a stupified ‘high’ most of the time due to their intoxicating diet of eucalyptus leaves.
Himeji garden – video
a moving haiku
honouring beautiful garden
for all to enjoy
Himeji garden
stillness of camera
nature's essence in image
brings mind to focus
Living hills
near invisible
humans live among gumtrees
quiet yet vital
And the wind, it blew
night of many thumps
tumbling down whack of branches
poor sleep; better day
Hawthorndene, Adelaide Hills Au
Equinox
procrastination –
feels like evermore’s ahead;
quoth autumn, ‘Really?’
It’s the Autumn Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere
Puns: on the road
arterial road
a plaque of caravans forms
blocking all traffic
Tiny thrill seeker
confident lizard
half size of little finger
stops to play chicken
24° C. in the Grampians Vic Au
fingers held loosely
walking, barely holding hands
a sign of some warmth
Gariwerd is the indigenous name of a region that has been home to the Djab Wurrung and Jardwardjali people for 20,000 years. It contains numerous rock art paintings and motifs.
The wife as beacon
she calls where are you
lost at sea in senryu
the fog then dissolves
Booted
pair of boots, worn down
retired to domestic service
no more holidays
the idylls of march
march holiday
marching on this holiday
ideally get fit
Z likes to have a purpose, not just a vacation. So this Autumn it’s going to be a marching holiday.
We’re off to the Adelaide Hills.
Spring (for those in the Northern Hemisphere)
a gift of haiku
to view nature with fresh eyes
to see life as new
Enlightened
lightness of body
being eased by autumn’s balm
the soft tread of fall
Autumn is my favourite time of year in Melbourne Au.
A gentle light
autumn brings soft light
a way to see good enough
during darker days
Assignment of rights
giving gist of brain
to A I who knows me best
ensuring future
Scenes from life’s parade
some paths best bypassed
others to wind through and pause
many to walk yet
wind through and pause:
New South Wales micro-forest,
Keysborough Victoria Au
Yappy birthday deedee
human years: seven-oh
get away with ~ nine dog-years?
woof woof woof woof woof
Autumn alchemy
bronze coloured trees
proudly announce Melbourne’s fall
gold medal season
Meteorological Autumn starts in Australia 1st March
Waiterly wit
guy complains, ‘tough toast’
would sir like a steak-knife
for the smashed avo?
