This week’s featured poet from ‘Under the Same Moon’, the Fourth Australian Haiku Anthology, is Western Australian poet, Maureen Sexton.
skinny dipping
in the outback river
paperbark trees
fly fishing
the sudden flick of
a frog’s tongue
my mother asks
if I am her sister . . .
entry to the maze
my daughter’s grave …
shadows of flowers dance
by my side
domestic fight
a young child hiding
in the fairy garden
