New Poetry by Jean Bohuslav










cause and effect

all woolly flanks turn in one direction
like slow motion tennis spectators
as a red ute draws dust idling
the long drive

then spooked by commanding trepidation
they hoof it down to the flats
pounding crackling debris
while grasshoppers click amongst
copper stalks
and cockatoos choreograph afternoon’s
echoing flights

affronted by kelpies controlling the run to
the yards and race
this orchestra is abruptly unplugged
the corriedales’ eyes resembling
large tombollers roll backwards
like mum’s when the old man gets stupid

nature’s tango
weaving natural laws of order through disorder
tapestries with connecting golden threads
spun effortlessly as falling leaves

Jean Bohuslav’s love for mindfulness philosophy often creeps into her poems.  She resides in Torquay Victoria where she enjoys the company of other poets and reading online poetry.
