Last Sunday a group of us set off from the State Library of QLD across the Kurilpa Bridge on our first Spring ginko. Was a gorgeous Spring day that sparked many fine haiku. Here’s a handful of them along with some stunning photographs by Cindy Keong. This Sunday, we are off to City Botanic Gardens… can’t wait!

Very nice collection, the wee made me laugh. Hopefully I can join you guys next time.

Really enjoyed these…my personal favorite was the one by Corrie Macdonald.
they’re all beautiful – each capturing a tiny piece of city spring and makes me see and feel it…so cool to be on the way with a bunch of poets..
Fabulous collection – particularly moved
