ON THE ROCKS AT BALNARRING
|
| |
|
| |
is it husband’s spirit
comfort to bring
small grey fantail
darts swiftly, springs?
spreads tail wide
and hops around
just a few feet
above the ground
tiny twitter
nervous and flighty
does not rest long
quick and sprightly
overweight family
strolls in shallows
mother stubs toe
in pain wallows
ring son at home
still feeling upset
sad and lonely
cannot forget
memories of time
when still family of four
walking and swimming
playing on shore
kids built castles
of drizzled sand
decorated with shells
bodies sun-tanned
sailed in Mirror
by friends on loan
yellow boat, red sails
manoeuvres shown
Westernport Yacht Club
still has sailing school
groups of children
learn ropes and rules
orange rubber dinghy
always at ready
if practice boat capsizes
will rescue and steady
sole fisherman
wanders back home
whiting for lunch
filleted bones
smell of salt
wave motion heard
feather on dry seaweed
from gull or other bird
footprints of all sizes
different patterned soles
others have walked here
left imprint holes
gentle cool breeze
grey cloud cover
plaintive cry
of distant plover
friends walk to Coolart
nature swamp land
soon back for lunch
will give helping hand
time now to leave
brown-red rocky point
playground for crabs
and anemones’ haunt
brief swim and shower
then salad with bread
read book for while
or rest on camp bed

THORNBILLS |
| |
|
|
friendly group of thornbills make faint claptrap like team of miniature cricketers wearing green caps none larger than a gum leaf they hop around on branches looking for tiny insects nimble as ballet dancers
