several senryu

raindrops on azolla
stink of manure
cicadas subdued

*

aloe escapes pot
dog’s bane blossoms
prayer plant can’t compete

*

gust activates
wind-chime poppa made
next funeral soon

*

wyandottes gambol;
fat witchetties
log revealed

*

subterranean den
under flipped rock
business as usual

*

spider silk
new colours
prying off the bark

*

turkey rhubarb
consumes a stump
rewilding

*

miners noisome in silk tree:
blue-faced honeybird must go!
lorikeets don’t mind

*

cold concrete garden bench
cats pick a fight
susurration of wings

*

pot-edge perched
rooting for catnip
Mochi’s enmeshed

*

world’s worst spy
plover matches my pace
side-steps away
