Best Down Under Poems

There’s endless miles of golden sandy beaches
Sparkling aqua waters as far as the eye can see
Gods and Goddesses frolic au naturel down under
Here’s where Heaven shines her light down on me

If you foolishly swim between the danger red line zones
See a shark coming ‘HELP ME’!...

Down under continent
Down low is Australia
Australia the big island
Australia sixth largest continent
Country whose desert known as outback
Country who has the largest reef
Reef called the Great Barrier
Reef found off northeastern coast
Coast 35,877 kilometer of shoreline
Coast provides fun in the sun
Sun beats down on the desert
Sun is...

Now Christmas in July seems crazy - I’m sure I hear you say
That has got to be plain silly - but this is the Aussie way
Christmas is in December you insist it’s a well-known fact
But in this land way ‘Down Under’ our seasons are ‘out...

In the land of Oz, we're all fair dinkum,
Every bloke, Sheila and Healer too.
By crikey mate, if you get us started,
You'll regret the day I guarantee you.

In bonza days some may call hard yakka,
With an esky chockers and a barbie that blares.
Strewth! I tell you...

Paris Down Under


I heard the thunder
all the kangaroos hid
children screamed in fear
the witch, her brew asunder

I calmed the innocent
peace is within my sphere
I danced with a Wolfe
Birds took a glance at philosophy

A druid mumbles
give peace a chance
I swallowed a lemon
said are crazy Sheilas in sanity?

Going Down Under!

Toes step, from dry to wet sand 
Foot sinks, bathes in waves 
Whoosh, waves splash ankles to toes
Cold, cool water, how far should I go?

Waves pulls back, pulls sand into sea
Feet step, from wet to wetter sand
Feet sink, deeper in still
Cold, cool water,...

Don't put your best years behind you.

Failures are best made on our own terms.

Success tells one they can succeed. 

A warm person is often the happiest. 

Money puts escape holes in one's pocket. 

Hugs are better than shrugs.

Common ground leaves less bones underground.

Fiends thrive in...

Limerick crochetés: Once Warrior Fifteen from down under

Once Warrior Fifteen from down under
Trained so hard Hakka to outclap thunder
	Scared s..t off rivals
	To reach the Finals
At Twitch-in-Ham where Prince roared like Pauper

Anthems sweet lulled the cheery spectator
World hushed to watch Black Hakka Warrior
	Earth shook hearts thumped...

Ukrainian soldiers will fight
The Russians by day and by night
They don't need sleep
Because they keep
Chewing Australian Vegemite...

Lying on the hilltop
like moments in a dream,
the beauty so extreme,
when the blowing winds stop
I look through the treetop
and spy a monotreme.

Platypuses pass by
as wombats waddle through,
followed by kangaroo.
Emus could never fly
but they will always try
or wind up in a stew.

Strutting mist, slow and proud
animal...

Quigley Down Under

Quigley down and under
Thought he took a blunder
No sound did he maker
Till he met Bo Baker
Quigley down and under
Left his pants, did wander.

Oh, so bluest the sky doth shine
A hint of the new season’s ploy,
Sweet November a springtime shrine
Grains of golden sands of pure joy.

Towards December’s hottest sun
Where the dust is stirred to a tune,
And winter waifs become undone
When gone the drowsy days of June.

Wild Lilac flowers...

The species of Aussie wombat
Are unique when producing 'scat'
I’m not kidding you
They poop square shaped pooh
I wonder if you too knew that!


The poem was a challenge by an on line friend and how could I refuse writing about square poop - thanks for the inspiration

Matilda blew her didgeridoo
With wallabies hopping two by two
Some dingoes dropped by 
To eat Shepherd's pie
Then off they went with a kangaroo....

I am the bushland dawning
in the stillness of the morning
I am the sunlit plains
and the mighty river's flow

I'm the drought and I'm the flood
I'm the earth and I'm the blood
I'm the breezes ever blowing
where the wild pandanas grow

I'm the stockman and the drover
and I've walked...
