Long Boomerangs Poems

An old Greek word, ecclesia,
is often translated as church,
but could also be thought of as a civilization
acting civilly,
as a citizenry
acting as responsible citizens.

The noun side of Ecclesia
casts residents as consumers
of democratic and economic cooperative systems,
while...

You bite that apple!
Give it a go, put on a show
There is no shame
You said shame is a sham
And clams are happy
Do they hop or skip?
Tripping along the seafloor
Playing hopscotch
Eating numbers like cookies
Chips Ahoy!
Sleeve after...

Compared with us, the kids today
Too little play and too much weigh.
Alone indoors they snack and sit
And buttons hit, while we stayed fit.

We'd quickly chores and homework do,
Then dash through doors to fun pursue,
To basketballs...

Was there a monumental...

An imaginary psychiatric clinic unique,
Curing cursed criminals, of their psyche and physique...!

An asylum suffused with history and mystery,

We are all boomerangs we return to our time and place.
We always see the same old tired face.
As we look in the mirror as the fire burns.
In the old weathered fireplace.

Spells of supernatural kinds he works, abundantly,

Gundabooka  Sam

Old Sam squats at Gundabooka
Somewhere out the back of Bourke,
He lives in a shanty hut,
Doesn't seem to do much work,
He wears rope-held trousers
And a long-john undershirt,
His crumpled hat's seen better days
Always covered in...

Morning drizzle
Skyline looks teary;
Jogging feet struggle

~~~~~~~~~


New penthouse suite
By midtown place;
Blessings of peace

~~~~~~~~~


Time moves swiftly
Flying away;
Seize interlude

~~~~~~~~~


Small talk empties
Chit-chat delays;
Time oozes fast

~~~~~~~~~


Two black birds
Morning choral;
Balcony duet

~~~~~~~~~


Tropical heatwave
Humid sticky sweat;
Air-con relief

~~~~~~~~~


Mall sales boomerangs
Petty touting;
Urgent campaign

The Creator designed some mighty ridiculous looking creatures.
Among them are the kangaroos with some very curious features!
One of them is its massive tail that balances its pear-shaped frame.
But I suppose 'tis that ponderous pouch that...

Confronting conflict
So much to say;
Not much said


Momentary surge
Foolish inquisition;
Curiosity rambles


Trial and error
Foresight blurring;
Curious burdens pain


Age feels fatigue
Turmoil in body-mind;
Forgetfulness lingers


Wandering in circles
Arrival starts ending;
Hurl new departures


Moment to moment
Change boomerangs;
Jigsaw puzzle gamble


Hidden agendas
Many pieces void;
Crazy feelings...

Today the weather s rainy,
There are puddles everywhere.

Raincoats and umbrellas,
Boots equip us for the weather.

The raindrops splash in the puddles,
Creating ripples.

Spring you could see the sparrows,
Bathing in the puddles.

What a delight they are to watch,
Father...

What fools do sing of Karma?

Justice meted out like some kind of sick equation as though
any thoughts or theorems are constant.

I'm sure Pythagoras and Euclid would be very proud of all of us.

On travels to Australia,
Someone brought me back a gift –
A brightly colored boomerang,
Which gave me quite a lift.

It got me thinking – wouldn’t life
Be better all around
If we were like a boomerang – 
Now, that’s...
