wind-blown palm fronds
beneath a darkening sky
the smell of rain
Maire Glacken
end of lockdown
a white-faced heron flies
over the breakers
Vanessa Proctor
after the storm
a fan-tailed cuckoo’s
forest song
Rose van Son
creekside path
a noisy tree of cockatoos
Kevin Browne
camphor laurel
a nesting tawny
blends into bark
Quendryth Young
clearwater stream
minnows and their shadows
nuzzling gravel
Simon Hanson
