Best Bandicoot Poems

In one square mile, northeast of Noojee,
there are seven birds that I often get to see
as I walk on the tracks in pristine forestry,
in one square mile, northeast of Noojee.

A Whipbird crack through ti-tree scrub,
a Lyrebird echo from Cascade Creek,
Red Browed Finch on the sword...

Along the road called forestry, the silver ash weeps over me
as I meander 'round the dell and glade.
Pass scars of sand pits long disused, where gullies, washes speak ‘abused!’
Reclamation offers now a new facade.

Need for powers cut an ugly door. The pylon gash is just...

Excitement filled the bushland as December was near
Every creature had been waiting for Christmas time - all year.
Wallabies hung their stockings on a  gumtree branch with care
Just as all nice children do – everywhere.

Meanwhile those more up to date logged on the internet
sending E...

For many years, the creek, ran passed as a drain,
Polluted and unloved; a poisoned murky vein.
A favoured dumping place, for household unwanted things -
out of sight, out of mind; and no good what it brings.

Life was almost non-existent in the creek
and weed infestation makes it...

A cry came out of Charleville ... "Please help our bilby mate! 
Extinction is now on the cards, let's save him from this fate." 
This little Aussie battler, folks, is disappearing fast. 
Five other species have now gone;  this bandicoot's the last. 
 
Since...

I researched the earth's endangered species list and this is what I found.
There's everything on the list from A to Z - rare species just abound!
I'll highlight some of the more interesting varieties just to name a few,
That creep and crawl amongst us in this...

Somewhere in Madagascar a baobab yields its fruit 
Somewhere in Australia a thylacine chases a bandicoot
Somewhere in Timbuktu a man is speaking in Urdu
Somewhere in the Blue Ridge Mountains an old woman stirs burgoo
As some skinny guy tiptoes on skyscrapers
Vagrants and vagabonds burn yesterday's newspapers
As...

A broad day light went dark
with his own conscience..
He locked himself 
into a cubic space..
he searched for his cellphone
shut its voice..
after the last call...
curtain was up before he recall.

speeding cars, mind blowing cinematography
thrilling chase , dashing heroin,
ruthless villain, mesmerizing hero..
he slipped into the drama
sucked into...

A beaver and a bandicoot,
After playing squash one day,
Were sipping cappuccinos
At a quaint outdoor café.
"Ah, thish ish sho like Parish", 
Lisped the beaver with a sigh.
"And I," remarked the bandicoot,
"am 'minded of Mumbai,
And Rome, and Barcelona,
And so many other places."
The beaver merely sat there
Being quiet...

Stay away from a rough-skinned newt
Their poison skin is deadly, it will make you toot.
Better to linger near an angry bandicoot.
Or go to Sam’s house and watch him play his flute.
If the newt comes near you, run off and hide.
His poison skin is deadlier than...

Ancient oak mythology predicted rainforest would have a large gnarled root.
She'll show up on a Sunday and have a loopy-loop fit for a bandicoot.
Bandicoot will curl up in the root and show the world an amazing show.
Of stars and fireworks, you will see where ever...

Who is he? They were asking in Montana, Bandicoot. 
It was Mr. Electric Blue spider, and he was a beaut.
He kept creeping along, pretending he did not understand.
Besides, he was on his way to hear a Mariachi Band.

Seriously, do you know him? My neighbor asked...

The dance of the light frogs and the banditweets went on forever
I listened to their croaks and watched the robins flock and feather.
The night owl had something wise to say but it sounded like a hoot.
What else could happen? Asked a Dracula driven nose dog...

The tiny specks grow titanic tension.
They’re often harmless, 
     Google consoles her. 
Yet a rare chance burns beyond solace. 
Is it a harbinger of retinopathy? 
Will her eye-LEDs illuminating soul be burnt out? 
Will tomorrow be void of light and colors?...
