in shade
grandpa is sipping green tea
grafting fruit trees
an old woman
warming herself by the fireplace
white rooftops

_____________________
hunger
the bone gnawed
all day
weeping willow
strands of hair
hide her tears
cracked window
two sides to a view
raindrops all day
stones on my roof
Gary Colombo De Piazzi

feral cat –
trees cast a shadow
Jesus Chameleon, the Marianas.

forty three degrees
even the Fremantle doctor
has died

high speed katydids
rev up in the August night –
heat wave doesn’t stop

between two clouds
a wet bird
spreads its wings

_____________________
tea garden –
we pluck out two leaves
worth of memories
dwindling lake –
an egret turns her gaze
to the sky
distant howl –
night closes in
tree by tree,
spring evening
inked on her ankle
cherry blossoms
mountain road –
we drive past the sun
on hairpin bends
Paresh Tiwari
_____________________
fast train –
the cry of seagulls
before and after
Jayashree Maniyil

Splendid Wren
on barbed wire fence
my sapphire ring
Graeme Butler
_____________________
cut off kite
the sound of children
fading with it
first light
last night’s rain
cupped in a mushroom
Ramesh Anand
_____________________
bush walk
surrounded by bird song
cyclist whistles past
blue sky
clouds drift by
gibbous moon
windswept
she sweeps leaves
her hair blown
courting couple
pink and grey galahs
step in tandem
Meryl Manoy

dung beetle workshop
gathering
information
sailing under the bridge
on a seed pod
- blue dragonfly
Japanese garden
fruit bats and tourists
chatter
old enemies help
each other go around
the pill box
Duncan Richardson

fallen rocks –
the eel glides under
a duck
lighthouse
they marry on the edge
of a cliff
Myron Lysenko
_____________________
summer sky –
our fluttering kites
battle it out
blackout –
we sit on the porch
counting stars
Shloka Shankar, Bangalore, India
_____________________
morning service
movement of hands
at the coffee machine
Tash Adams
_____________________
herringbone stitch
bird feet in the sand
dusk
the silver river below
the charcoal sky
inside a windflower
a new summer’s day
Rose van Son

unopened crayons
he presents a painting
of spilt milk
black coffee –
tonight I sip
the full moon

railway mosque –
a flash of blue
a kingfisher takes off
neck deep in wheat fields
peacocks pick their way
through pools of mud
Angelee Deodhar, India
