Trees wave in the breeze
Feeding oxygen to me
And I feed the trees.

I used to see geckos inside my flat quite a lot. But I think my miniature schnauzer who I call Ilse or Ilsa has been deterring them, though they still come in my parents house. And here’s a new haiku poem that I wrote last night that gives a clear description of a lizard’s reaction to Ilse who often chases them.

A lizard stopped in
its tracks when it saw my dog
then it turned around.

A little spider
went up and down and along
the wire fence line

As I was waiting
I brushed the ants off my feet
as they were biting

I watched as a whole
army of ants disected
a larger insect.

When Dita wanted
the blanket she took Ruebens
for a ride on his.

The dust storm went right
through towns in Queensland but it
came from Broken Hill.

I observed a worm
as it burrowed in the dirt
then it disappeared.

I watched a young man
ride his scooter where skateboards
are normally used.

A kooka spotted
a green frog and kept trying
until it got it.
