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...
