Perth Words… exploring possibilities.

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

Head Music

like an orchestra of color
I place each note

a medley of pink
red strings
orange peels
blue trumpets

surround a few
violas - a
cello or two

complete the tune
in my head.

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.
