September 2023

quill

Fallen from birds wings

Feather cut and dipped in ink

Writing out these words

first posted 1 Sept 2023


tides

Swell of salty water

Encroaches on sandy banks

As the tide's pulled in

sunbeam

Sunlight through glass panes

In the afternoon sunbeams

A cat lies sleeping

laughter

Up on the fence post

Calling loud and joyfully

Kookaburra sits

twilight

The clouds are painted

In streaks of pink and orange

As the sun goes down

first posted 12 Sept 2023


rainclouds

On a cold grey day

Hear the rain beat on the roof

While safely indoors

locked

You find a locked box

That's been stored away for years

No sign of a key

leaky

From the old faucet

The water drip, drip, drip, drips

Down the metal sink

glow

From broken glow sticks

The colourful fluorescence

Of their spilt fluid
