grazed knees
the skate trick gone wrong
lollypop
not for sale
the minimalist art
of fishing nets
oblivious to billy tea
wallabies graze away
rocks frame
a dampened cormorant
inviting sun across her wings
salt-worn jetty
Gran's sandy toes
scratching mine
stranger's footprints
to the water's edge
~ a lone surfer
hills ease into a setting sun
~ bottle of the best bubbly
the incoming tide
waving goodbye
to sandcastles
We are pleased to announce that three of the haiku from our upcoming eurobodalla collection were chosen for Canberra’s Poetic City Festival – Haiku 4 You tear-off-haiku poster installation between March 15 – April 26, 2021.
The selected haiku were rotated with other poets’ verses on posts, windows, walls and boards around Canberra for passers by to tear off and enjoy.
