Candy

Virginia Gow

Blackheath, New South Wales

Australia

 

Hush!

Look!

Dawn’s blush

filters through

cotton candy clouds

floating on distant horizon.

Morning’s melody awakens

to Spring’s frog-mating calls all around dapple pond. Fern

fronds wave in delight as their greens are mirrored in a dainty water-ripple display,

whilst water lilies look forward to playing nursemaids

to tiny tadpoles hide and seeking from crafty currawongs and proud kookaburras.

Lusty lizards scamper over ochre rocks, rustle

under rich umber-splattered leaves

escaping dinner.

Perhaps not!

Tasty

treat

time!
