so lush
the grass
for late autumn lovers
*
above me
a single red rose
against slivers of blue
*
beside the croquet lawn
a homeless man sleeps
visitors welcome
*
in the colour
of fallen leaves
a crow feather
*
beneath the gentle sway
of late autumn
tai chi
*
poems by Lee-Anne Davie

forgive me rose
she loves me
she loves me not
*
public toilet
I am not compelled
to flush
*
must be growing old–
polite chatter
at the wedding party
*
the river has glistened
long enough
for the summer house windows
*
fallen
jacaranda flowers
we part without regret
*

Another Lost Shark 
maybe I can still qualify as a late autumn lover. the grass sounds really good. Lee-Anne, you paint a lovely picture of a well used park.
Vuong, you have peopled the park so well!, and with such enjoyment.
thank you both.
I have enjoyed this haiku workshop Graham, the dicipline has been so valuable for me. It’s wonderful to see the development of each poet as the weeks progress. Cindy’s photos have been the perfect foil. Lee-Anne the late autumn lovers have it for me, first and last are my favourites. Vuong, the rose and the jacaranda are my picks, such enduring images of Newfarm park for me and of course I’m a sucker for (as Graham puts it) the busted love poem. Beautiful words you two.
These are stunning. I’m so enjoying reading all these ku from the crew. Thank you Lee-Anne, Vuong and Cindy for taking me on your walk through these poems. Loving it.
