Tomorrow, I will be will be trekking around the gorgeous Boondall Wetlands with ten other haiku enthusiasts on our autumn ginko.
If the weather stays like it is today – early 20′s and endless blue – it is going to be beautiful to be near the water in a haiku state of mind. Here’s one that I have been rolling around in my head this morning…

Inspired by yesterday’s ‘poets on beauty’ post, I wrote this… may you all know beauty, wherever you are this Friday evening.

As I write this, there are people in various parts of the state being evacuated while others prepare for the worst in the wake of ex-tropical cyclone Oswald (Brisbane’s flood peak is not expected until tomorrow). My heart goes out to everyone who has been affected.
koel calls
the sound of a river
rising
