into the spring dawn
baby kookaburras launch
fresh twitter accounts
Ryan Stone
Awaken
Ash
determined thief—
forest fire steals all
but their last embrace
Ryan Stone
Sundered
a wasted chance
to unite in one voice…
tonight, I weep
Ryan Stone
On her death
ice on her duck pond
gently melts into water
changing…not leaving
Ryan Stone
Mt Dandenong
cloud tide
lapping the timberline
—mystic lake
Ryan Stone
Faux paw
barking dog
a constant annoyance!
until the burglar
Ryan Stone
Fall
amber leaves
tumbling down the path—
empty nest
Ryan Stone
Escape
Despite
the mist, the lack
of light,
they fly
true south, those geese,
while I
remain,
earthbound by age
and pain.
Ryan Stone
Chroma
a sudden rainbow
kaleidoscopes long grey skies…
unexpected smile
Ryan Stone
Broken
falling tears
shatter my face—
dawn tide pool
Ryan Stone
days of stone
