haiku

In the graveyard
beside all the white people
Werriberri dreams

They’re calling us
over and over
the hidden birds
Diana Levy

I taught a “Journey through Blackheath ” haiku course in Blackheath in August, during the windy weather. Blackheath Area Neighbourhood Centre hosted this day.

Here are some haiku which the students wrote:

_playing hide and seek
on empty swimming pools
the wintry sun

up a frosted path
grass burnt green and yellow
small birds spy me_

Annmarie Chandler

_strutting black-white magpie
lord of all he surveys
an empty picnic ground

wood bridge over still water
a rising wind
annoys the trees_

Doug Mason
