Meandering old man
Watching the suits walk by
Not all who wander are lost

Shell Pocock
god what is that smell?
pizza boxes - six days old
bin night on Power Street

being up to date
lends itself to overload
brain goes back to bed

A Haiku about the Loss of an Identity Card

Oh Lord, where is it?
I know exactly who I am
but can I prove it?

Ian Row

two haiku remotely related to linear causality

a fine line
linear causality
you to me

a walk in the park
versus the shortest distance between two points
we'll get there

Ian Row

three haiku about a stolen car

i.
in between showers
too early to be you-know-where
a car is stolen

ii.
a Japanese bomb
a gift from your grandfather
sans insurance

iii.
cops spot a Mazda
on Gertrude street, minutes away
Thoughtful, as thieves go

Ian Row

Scritti Politti

Scritti Politti
Gone are the old surprises
Past perfect

Weekend in Macedon: Part 3

A sleep in Sunday
Last night, a seamless segue
Chrysalis

Ian Row

Weekend in Macedon: Part 2

i.
Three of us
Rediscovering
Lives unravel

ii.
There's much left to do
in this life, said the psychic
Lessons not learned

iii.
Giving it up
What a little tina can do
Not all in your head

iv.
The guest room
Glow-in-the-dark stars
Feels like home

Ian Row

Weekend in Macedon: Part 1

i.
'Mirkwood'
8 acres of wonderment
Wonderland

ii.
Crab apples, Lavender
and on the dome, Wisteria
Spring, in her own time

iii.
Five dams, two tanks
feed the orchard, the hothouse
Sustainability

iv.
"We have no neighbours,
just the national park, and
7 foot kangas"

Cab Music

Italian cabbie
Hooked on Classics, 1 and 2
Sooo nineteen eighty eight

This is my favourite
Track 5... the middle... the arias!
Here it comes


This is italian!
Verdi, Vivaldi, Puccini!
This, and spaghetti

chocolate's bad for you
nuts and seeds are better
restraint is king
i'm over you
but you're still under me
soft sport
not a word
what are the odds of an even chance?
your time starts now
