Our Sunshine State

Rainforest, sparkling white sand And friendly country towns Man eating crocodiles Outback and Darling Downs The awe inspiring Barrier Reef And tropic Moonlight nights Bushland animals and solitude The heat the earth ignites Rich brown earth and floodlit plain Earth’s bounty here we sow Sugar cane, Wattle and Blue gums Paradise untamed aglow

I enjoyed reading your wonderful poetry this morning Lizzie. It has been awhile since I have felt like reading and commenting. So going to make it short this time with a promise to try and read more often after the holidays. Have a wonderful weekend and may it be full of love and joy. Love, Carol

In some ways it sounds like Florida! But i don't think they have bushland! Sounds wondrous, LIzzie.

sounds just right the local sight, the heat the dust the mountains, the thunder of the motor cars , as traffic is a mounting... picture painted Lizzie that I see, good on ya mate of me...

Are you sure that you're not in Ohio, because this describes where I live not at all. I want to see it all someday.
