Perth, WA – Part 1 of 3

i.

Going west; coming

back to where we started

a lifetime ago

ii.

A streetscape unchanged

Pizza Express, my old house

Points on my mind map

iii.

Day one, Friday night

Steve - my Air BNB host

Fish between friends

Ian Row

Change comes, but slowly -
Three steps forward, two steps back
Its sweet time, taken

Jeff Patterson

Spot Haiku 27

Goodbye Winter, Hello Spring

i.
Layers of meaning
Layers of winter hardship
Peel off in sunshine

Cathy Dineen

ii.
Come part clouds part clouds
So unrest and frustration
Give way to content

Simon Patience

iii.
There was hail in Perth
And mighty winds did sweep down
Now just chirping birds.

Sutekh the Destroyer

iv.
Winter versus Spring:
Will frost destroy sweet blossoms?
No, but Summer will.

Sharkbite von Herringattack

v.
This light comes in time
For me to see clearly
We need umbrellas

Cathy Dineen

vi.
soft and warm breezes
green shoots and scented blossoms
a change of season

Leah Billeam

looking for change in
parking meters. the times
they are a-desperate.

Ian Row

An afternoon in Frankston: A suite

i.
feels like saturday
what a monday off can do
not quite ready yet

ii.
was it nerves?
or did you change your mind?
is it that hard?

iii.
rough trade at the mall
scowl, stubble and safety boots
it's just business, mate

iv.
rubberband rolling
you can tell when it's sushi
save some for later

v.
oblivious to
the danger, the emo kids hang
out at Gloria Jean's

Ian Row

Obama Wins Big
He is an agent of change
We all benefit!

Carlae

Cryogenic cure -
frozen in time and in space
changes your life how?

Steve Andrews

Another haiku about another change of heart

i break
then build the bridge across
my hands to myself

Ian Row

A haiku about a change of heart

"needs work", she says
maybe she knows it's sexy
and now wants in

Ian Row

Money from strangers
Loose change for parking meter
Is that an omen

Ian Row

Meditations on Life

i.
it's time to move on
to begin a new chapter
excitement and nerves

ii.
it's almost two years
the boy has really changed
the public service

iii.
resilience; strength
it's about people and place
living and dreaming

iv.
it was a safe place
to rest for a short while
resume the career

'no croquet today'
