Five Short Poems Poem by Frances Macaulay Forde

Han's Café

Whitfords with sunset view
and one lonely seagull
trying out the new pool.



Rottnest Island

peacocks parade
scouting the scene
for opportunities



Cottesloe

paddlers ignore
frantically flapping flags
strike rythmically
into the folding flow



Wanneroo Folk Club

Old grey whistles
Same old tunes
Nothing changes
Just remember



Immigrant

With Visa ease
He slipped
Into Australia
Like oiled toes
Invade a shoe
