Native Australian Red Triangle Slug (Haiku) by Leigh van der Veen
Leave a commentAfter rain, timid
tentacles rise. Gum leaf-like,
algae grazer, glides.

Did you know?
Red triangle slugs are Australia’s largest native land slug. They can grow up to 14 cm long. They are safe in your vegetable garden as they prefer the microscopic algae found on smooth-barked eucalypt trees.
Autumn Haikus by James Aitchison
Leave a commenthigh in the tree-top
kookaburras form a choir
notes falling with leaves
my breath clouds like mist
summer bleeds from the branches
I walk on colour

A Trio of Autumn Haikus by Dannielle Viera
Leave a commentA patchwork of leaves
blankets the soon-cooling earth.
Seeds sleep until spring.
Bonfire burns brightly,
melting marshmallows like snow.
I dance near the flames.
Red and orange leaves
warm the air of autumn days.
Gaia’s ardent gift.
