A love in verse

Tasmania

The days would have been rainier

The dark sky never clear

If you’d gone to Tasmania

And sadly I’d stayed here

In the wrong hemisphere


I might have died quite young one day

Empty, lost and blue

But been reborn far far away

A silly kangaroo 

And hopped right up to you


And you’d have looked at me, said “streuth  – 

An ugly brute, sport, that’s the truth!”

Daughter

She will find the flowers soon

Catch them suddenly – pinks – 

In a glance, surprised, as she enters...

A Fearsome Year

Come train through the forests of rain

Bring my girl to my aching arms

Into the night against the grain...
