I discovered something new,
Giraffes are so very tall,
Crocs on land have to crawl,
It's such fun at Sydney Zoo....

Found a large stone in his kidney
Went into a Doc
Who took out the rock
Surely felt better then did-n-ee...

See simple Sydney, wherever he go's
He'll show you a trick with fingers and toes
Counting to twenty 
If that's not plenty
Make it twenty one, cross eyed on his nose!...

After the rain
My friend used to say
On those long rainy days
In Sydney
You need a bad woman
And a good bottle of scotch
I think that kind of love
Hurts like a paper cut....

autumn leaves keep me
pensive, wrapped in reverie
amidst the colors

Joy wears a face
A touch of grace
Love says it all
Heed then the call

In
July
Its Winter.
Bitterly cold
Here In Australia,
Snow does not fall at all.
Sydney is very windy.
Howling wind makes horrid weather.
Nice to stay cozy and warm at home.
Snuggle under a blanket together....

There was an old man from Sydney
                  Who liked his pie steak and kidney
                  He ate and he ate
                  Til nothing on plate
                  Then burped at his tall wife Mindy...

Dance with fun please!

I spotted two frogs
jump from a green lily-pad,
but sadly they drowned.


I pulled them out...while
the others croaked and
left the rippling, gloomy pound.

wings of bright robin

    gliding down on moist daisy…

Cheerful hummingbird,

Feisty gulp
A hot cup


Mocha dawn
Moves deep yawn


Cold air drifts
Warm drink sifts


In a dash
Warm gut stash


Mocha joy
Swirls fond ploy


Autumn cold
Warm hands hold

Strangers staring, father frowning
as the crickets chirp   in  the deluged duplex,
Sydney swims towards the stairs,
looks like no water wets here, she said,
father follows further, 
where's little Linda? , he heard,
a barking bulldog runs down the slippery stairs....

DIAMONDS


Each little tear
Flows rapidly down

Washing the stain from
A blooded soul

Diamonds fall
Costly release
Fast repaired spirit

Whispered breaths, gentle breeze, blushing hearts of sanguine hue
Wings aflutter of gossamer lace, pure, gentle, delicate and true
Luminous lucence, crystalline glow, soft translucence and heavenly bloom
Beautiful glimmer in radiant sweetness, all the splendor that is you...
