Multiple planets and stars
So much to explore

A beautiful tale
Hydrangeas and lush forests
Blue and green lakes lie.

Teacher’s note: After reading a folk story about the Twin Lakes in Azores, we composed this poem as a class.
blazing wattle –
the splendour
of yellow
a ladybird
on the mock-orange
finds the sun
in the distance
the stillness
of trees leafing
so many winners
running
into the wind
summer twilight
kangaroos boxing
on the golf course
From the blue spring sky
hard hail and soft pink petals
falling together
Spring morning –
overnight the wind has picked
the last camellia
Spring blooms melody
the air with sweetest perfume
strumming my heart strings.

Storm touch
Hibiscus petals shake
Cyclone memory free
Hear the forest
Green tree frogs
Sing like rain
so many winners
running
into the wind
athletes
sharing out moments
of Win or Lose
