This week’s poems – about the rhythms of nature and familiar scenes – are from Adelaide contributor Michelle Juers.
Rhythms
Ticking clock
Beating heart
Sun’s rise and set
Lapping tides
falling raindrops
Universal metronomes.
Familiar Place
You might like
Return to the land of milk and honey
Open fires, kitchen table, full fridge
Rolling hills, green winter pastures
Dirt road leads to a dear friend
Small town supermarkets
Boast monopolising paraphernalia
Cold pews, stained glass windows

Diligent dairy farmer
Pastures cream of the crop
Generosity, kindness and compassion
In step and in kin
Helpful, cheerful, gregarious
Brother in arms length of living
Intelligence, creative genius
Limitless culinary accomplishment.
