Poem of the Month, April 2017
Sonnet for A Coin Eyed Fish
At the mouth of the Onkaparinga River.
In the mornings the new autumn cold
chews the crusts of fading summer,
The wind whines high through the empty hold
of the poo-bag roll in F # minor.
Midday birdsong is free light freight,
The dogs stalk and strain on the halter,
The sun sandwiched tight, early and late
sends trembling veins of light through water.… Click for more
