Yesterday afternoon, we took a drive out to the Bannockburn Golf Club, (where I used to play before my last two strokes put an end to my playing days.) The course is situated inside a State Forest surrounded by native bushland, where kangaroos graze and graciously share the fairways with those ‘crazy golfers’. At the moment the Club is undertaking the huge task of installing 18 new greens. Frankie and I inspected a few of the new greens. Frankie quickly adopted the place as his own and thoroughly enjoyed the vast expanse of grass and the many trees that he was able to explore …

Frankie’s Golf Course (a Haiku)




Doggie paradise

Miles of grass and lots of trees

All a yard apart!

I have been busy today reloading my computer with my printers and scanner, then adding all the necessary apps that I use to organise to my poetry website …
Our spring weather was again atrocious today, but despite the appalling conditions we still managed to go out for our ‘walkies’ …
Images Below: in the right-hand photo, I am sure the big grey cloud was laughing at us, for being the only ones, crazy enough to brave nature’s fierce winds …

Stony Clouds (a Haiku)

The air turned stony

Gales tore in from the south pole

Grey veneered clouds laugh

We met a ‘Pill Millipede’ on our walkie this morning, he was shy and defensive.

I’m a Pill (a Haiku)

Defensively

I roll up into a pill

But don’t swallow me

Above the Wires (a Haiku)

Marbled clouds on fire

Our brindle sky is angry

With the voiceless wires

Today Ran Away (a Haiku)

Why a noon so soon?

Eyes haven’t seen the sky today

Where has the moon gone?
