Best Waterholes Poems
The Brumby 6-25The brumby of Australia, not known to be well bred
Some are tough as leather, but that not often said
More criticised that praised, for damage that they do
Muddying the waterholes, as cattle never do
The biggest problem that they have, their wish to have a roll
Find some...

Broken Commandments In a Broken WorldLove your neighbour.
Bomb them to Hell
Peace be upon you.
Off with their heads
Blessed are the poor.
We shall exploit them
Feed the hungry.
Poison their waterholes
Help the homeless.
Herd them into refugee camps
We are equal in the eyes of our God.
Let women be our slaves
There is dignity in labour.
Prostitute yourself
Respect...

VastOceans are vast breaking toward a shore
Harbors for sealife, both timid and brave
Sun is stolen by sea: tales in folklore
sunsets seem to melt into ocean's waves.
A stark vastness in deserts robed in sand
Vicinity where mind tags dreams for play
teasing of waterholes, though none at hand
Shadows...

Aussie CowboyIn the change of the season, fears fills life in the bush
The weak parish ,the strong survive, summers hot hell sky
The dry spell ends and the cowboys check out the waterholes
A constant fight for seasonal torture in this unforgiving land
The stream runs through the woodland...

Green RosesRoses can be green
The globalized world is a grey blanket
the common language and culture (consumerism)
A haze of foul jollity and hollow laughter
lost minds, save elephants and waterholes
life is self-indulgent a rush into the arms of self
where the famous chef wears a toupee.
Roses are blue, the...

The Pride of LionsThe Pride of Lions
The interior of Algarve has in the summer heat
an African feel, waterholes are getting smaller
and mules must be careful not to be caught by
lions that lurk in the chaff, seed of things made
golden by the sun, but ultimately just T....

The world as one is a grey blanket of nothing

A haze foul of jollity and hollow laughter.

And movies of no consequence.

Red winged black birdRed-wing blackbirds symbolize protection, good luck, and even prosperity. They’re a reminder that something else is out there watching over us and guiding us when necessary - Quote by Vanessa K. Eccles

Zorro of lakeshores, coasts,
waterholes amidst tall reeds
Redkissed on wings, nicely earned
proud yellow shining badges,

Afternoon AfterthoughtsLike a late afternoon afterthought,
a sudden, heavy downpour drenches
and floods the parched marshland.
Here and there, across what once was
a mirror lake, wet grasses cast swaying,
tapering shadows in the dying light.
As the skyline fades into the twilight,
exultations throaty and raucous echo
from new puddles, fresh...

The Darkening ShadowsThe yellow dying sun throws lingering light
As the hills are bathed in pastel colours towards night
The trees are filled with pink galahs
And you can hear their incessant chattering from afar
The kangaroos get up and slowly hop around
As they graze near waterholes on dusty ground
Those that...
