Last Sunday, our haiku group descended on Brisbane’s iconic, Southbank Parklands for our weekly ginko (haiku walk). The Spring weather turned it on, and the park was teeming with wildlife of all varieties! Here’s a few poems from the group + a couple of my own:
pink ice cream
a baby sucks
its thumb
Tiggy Johnson
*
this green place
all my own
one willie wagtail
Rebekah Woodward
*
rubbish
in the lily pond
catfish eyes
Lyndon Norton
*
city beach
all the fathers running
like children
Graham Nunn
smoking
the tarot reader slips
out of character
Trish Reid
*
breeze ruffles
a seagull’s snowy chest
cloudless sky
Corrie MacDonald
*
hot sun
Pauls milk sign spoils
the view
Lee-Anne Davie
*
white stains
by the ice cream stall
sacred ibis
Andrew Phillips
*
waiting for you
the bouganvilla
pours out its song
Graham Nunn

This is fun.
Great collection – I feel like I am there at Southbank
