A BUSH FIRE  
               
One scorching afternoon,
A sudden splintering sound was heard,
The nearest was the buffalo herd,
They smelt the smoke and felt the heat,
And began to charge, they had to...

Forest fires rage
Seed kernels burst from their cage
Rain quenches – Seeds sprout...

A halo round the fading moon
Sweet mist upon the grass.
The croak of frogs from yon lagoon,
A flight of ducks wing past.
A dingo howls farewell to night,
The crimson sunrise comes;
The dawn is here to start the day,
Al hail the rising sun.

That blazing orb now bakes the...

An Aussie Bush Pee

Now! Have you ever tried to have a pee?
while squatting down and hiding in the bush.
But first, must pull your jeans and undies down
while all the time you’re showing off your toosh.

You grab your jeans and undies in one hand
to keep them...

BUSH CAT KILLERS

Lions hunt anything,
They hunt all the while,
They approach their prey,
With incredible guile.
Their plan is strategy,
When they attack,
And like a squadron of
Soldiers surround their
Prey in a pack.
Lions have a reliable nose,
And with their sharp hearing,
This leads to a kill,
And the whole pride
Will enjoy their...

Did you tire of one President's lecturing and preaching?
Do you cringe at another's tweets, his lechery and "leechering?"

Then as George W Bush Jr's term fades from the annals of recency
Let us recall the stirring words of this man of abiding decency

"Junior" as the USA's President...

Going bush

So I suppose if the world explodes 
With war and misery
I will go bush, 
Atom bombs will push
Me away from the great city

Return to the fiftys lifestyle
Box of matches an a pocketknife
To live off the land
Be home again 
Mongst  Rabbit n Roo
 without...

Beautiful bush called tango hummingbird mint
Glows a fiery blue with oranges in a glint,
Hummingbirds, honey bees, butterflies too,
Love this plant with the orange and the blue.

I have been trying to buy these bushes for a while.
I am always polite and use my best smile.
I call...

snowball bush full bloom
heart of enchantment dusk fumes
as butterflies flit

green lawn of languor
and beauties lying in beds
in the mellow noon

white moon and scent orbs
attracting hued birds and bees
stopping hearts and feet...

like a waltz with her guilt for a soldier and son

like a foetus that hears and fears fallout’s begun


like the praise for a man who once lit up her floor

like the things we can't find but are still searching for


like a warm song of summer...

"Black Molasses"



Black Molasses 
holds to ransom 
footprints 
sucked into 
Tropic of Capricorn mud
as bushfires bleed
sugar from cane
like molten glucose 
shot into the veins
of Mother Earth gone all
libertine sour 
like Lemon Grass
crushed and burnt 
acrid smoke inhaled
through the flaring nostrils 
of brumbies running wild
coats the colour...

rose bush starkly bare
                     snowflakes shimmer on branches
               roots dream thrilling...

Each year in August the teams descend, cricket foe morphing quickly to friend,
Bonds are forged on a pitch unique, camped on the banks of Reedybrook creek. 
The grass is cut, the fields set out, the umpires shout, ‘Fair play gents, otherwise, you’re out!’
Of drinks consumed,...

Laughing purple lilacs rain wonders through a thirsty soul – by poet

Lavender lilacs, tranquil and prayerful
Fill up the heart with a sense of compassion
Lightly whispering in the morning breeze
Gentling the eyes with breaths of pure love
Serenity flows warm through the tender petals
Melting away all worry,...
