Click click click
A small bird flies off

May 30

Only a few metres apart 
Yet the spaces feel so different 

May 29

Being ten 


Happiness is 
to sit in a tree 

May 28

Saturday afternoon 


constant growl 
of the washing machine 
splodges of laughter 
from the teenager's room 

May 27

The ceiling is full of holes 
I imagine a game of dots-and-boxes 

May 26

Upturned flower 


While the birds chatter 
X marks the spot 
in beautiful pink 

May 25

Optometrist appointment 


"Any questions?" 
"Where can I get a pair of those funky glasses?"


Laughter eases the tension in the room 

May 24

A light sprinkling 
Heads bowed 
Bodies hunched  
Umbrellas not necessary 

May 23

On the footpath  
leaves lay like bowls 
wait for water 

May 22

One lone pendulum tree
The others shake it all about

May 21

leaf racing down the street 
no other competitors 

May 20

Our tree and the neighbour's tree 


leaves on one side 
leaves on the top 

May 19

Tasks that once consumed hours and more 
of my thoughts and actions 
Simply moments in my day 
Today I feel so proud 

May 18

twirl in the breeze 
wind and rain stolen colour 
still beautiful 

May 17

Neatly placed 
at the base of the tree 
The baby's hat 
awaits its owner's return 

May 16

I wondered what the new plants were 
Two days later 
remember I planted some Hollyhock seeds 


Confirmed by a Google search 

May 15

Blogger down 
The end of my post a day run 

May 14

millipede
question mark on the wall

May 13

meditation 


last week 
someone said the automatic doors 
sound like waves 
today 
I noticed they do 

May 12

Circles of torchlight
making mystery

May 11

The sound of the rain 
gradually builds 
takes over the beeping of the trucks 

May 10

Walking home in the rain 


Soggy, clinging clothes 
heavier with each step 

May 9

the leaf waved
as I walked past

May 8

Birdsong painting 


If the sounds of the birds were painted today 
There would be big blobs of paint 
thin trails of evenly spaced dots 
... 

May 7

light plays on the window screen 
making art 

May 6

cat 


he is curled on my lap 
comfortable 
I don't sit for long 
he seems disappointed 
again 

May 5

Inward curling leaves 
thirsty marshmallow weeds 

May 4

tiny wattle tree 
giant takeaway cup 

May 3

Rocks or mushrooms? 
I'm not sure 

May 2

Yellow, brown and green 
Curled leaves in the alleyway 
One looks like a banana 

May 1

Sparkly circles of water 
on leaves and grass 
telling the tale 
of earlier light rain
