Haiku - Walking by Lake Ginninderra
Lucy Alexander
Walking beside
Water
Tasting of light
*
Wagtail call
A crack in the
Quiet
*
Night swan
Neck dripping
Sunlight
*
Peewit
Black Voice
White call
*
Passing family
Polkadot
Voices
*
An Ibis stretches her neck
And flies
To yesterday
*
Eastern froglet
Reaches up with
Her tiny mossy voice
