Country
take my hand
walk with me
through family
follow straight
railway lines
in the sunshine
leave hand prints
in caves sprayed
white sand hills
mountains of
red clay heart
brown beauty
take my hand
walk with me
through country

Circles
In this match of life
others call a game
my hands flutter to
find the finger holes.
I fix my gaze on pins
measuring the lane
grip hard and swing
bowling ball aimed.
Been knocked down
but stubborn as a pin
I stand again, ready
for the next bowler.

Orchid
With a Naturists eye
Infinite care, such
considered placement
A fern fond here
A gum leaf there
Pink & yellow
Dried petals
Delicate veins
Like a wedding veil
Placed in the center
of our two-tiered cake
an orchid appears
A most exotic,
rare orchid
like me.
