Ten Zen Poems

By | 31 October 2012

a bird in the garden below –
the fan spread
as it put to wing
______________________

a kangaroo
bounds silently across the far end of the field
a penny in motion
______________________

a single-syllable bird call
shadow waves ripple
across the white wall
______________________

I love the western world
every morning I get to stand
in warm rain
______________________

morning
afternoon
evening

bird song
chain saw
bird song
______________________

the double yellow
two caterpillar tractors
sleeping in sunset light
______________________

a tree with half its branches gone
left handed
like me
______________________

strutting black-white magpie
lord of all he surveys
an empty picnic ground
______________________

wood bridge over still water
a rising wind
annoys the trees
______________________

one slow afternoon
a death adder graces our garden
all our hearts stop
