Notes About The Poem

Lake Ginanderra is a pleasant and peaceful artificially made body of water in an open bushland setting in Belconnen, a suburb of the city of Canberra, Australia.  Barley Griffin is a local brand of Canberra beer.

Ginanderra

Grey specked sheet of sand
Beckons feeble ripples
Afternoon sun enters the argument
Highlighting their warm source

Here the connection is made.
We comprehend the elements
In their scenic combination
Fitting nicely in the field of vision

Except that ragged outer frame
Faded patchwork of dry gumtrees.
So I sense the crunchy chaos
Through my sips of Barley Griffin.

Comforted by peaceful lakes,
Disturbed by discontented swans,
Sunset glides with chilly touches.
Little to be trusted here
