A Melbourne winter is chilly, rainy, grey but still with many small wildflowers that attract the birds. Sometimes though, like today, it's sunny and the sky is a bright blue.

grey skies drift apart
sun-rays travel to my eye
oh! it is so bright

my skis on, I swift
over a fern half-buried
crackling beneath ice

karenajoan
​​2017

on our picnic rug
a tiny snow-mouse, twitches
sparkling laughter

karenajoan
​2017

strawberry moon held
on the road ahead, cars
travelling home 

​karenajoan
​2019

this sphere of a moon
promising, spins me closer
silken spiderweb

karenajoan
​2019

coolness in the air
under a dappled grey sky
goslings sleep
