Spring an otter bright with sparkling water
*
Wind at the corners of the house
these days
you never meet my eyes
*
around his grave
native flowers
at home in clay
*
melaleuca
touching the moving river
dreams…dreams…
*
crow in the birdbath splinters the sun
*
Some of these haiku have appeared in First Australian Haiku Anthology 2001 and A Hundred Gourds 2011

Gert Loveday's Fun with Books 
Great haiku! And, with reference to your Proust post, I’m sure Gert’s not a procrastinator…
The conditions under which Gert writes are cunningly engineered to make it impossible to procrastinate. That’s not to say it doesn’t happen after the first draft is done, though. We have a draft of a book that we don’t like much and we’ve taken about two years to get round to doing something about it.
The middle two are particularly resonant. Wind at the corners of the house . . . Thanks —
A beautiful way to start a Sunday! Love the first three. Thanks for posting this.
Thank you. You’re with the consensus – the first 3 are the ones that have been previously published.
