A BOOK MADE UP OF THREE SECTIONS
The Return of Rainbows ~  written at University

Driving down Alexander,
(early morning rush hour)
lecture on documentary film.
eager for knowledge, I noted
low, broad bands of colour
spanning the sky above Uni.
Ignoring the grey clouds,
I welcomed the return
of rainbows to my life.


Rail Tales
~ written on the train travelling
between Edgewater and Perth City

parallel bars ride the sand
silver bullet steered by jhand
expressed in kilometred speed
human flotsam to concrete greed


Poems written about
Exploring Possibilities
of a New Romance at the age of 54.

memories,
cling-film wrapped
fresh
and clean for whenever.
Weighted
with life's necessities,
baggage
that I cannot leave behind.
Snap on my seat belt (I'm not a good traveller)
and ask the flight attendant "When do we arrive?
"
