(I)
the wind hustles in
a mood for dancing
leaves perform an etude
quiet but technical
I ask,"have you been practising?"
(II)
scrap of bark
in sickled flight
enjoys one moment as a lark’s wing
before resuming flappishness
the tickle of the grass on its scratched brown face
(III)
Once in a while
the bogong moth
winds up like a mechanical toy
insisting at the fly-wire
the short sharp crumple
of want
The third one is very catchy and brilliantly inventive.

I love the whimsy of the first, the inventiveness of the third and the taunt of the title —
