Third and last trip2024.4.28
It was our third and final day trip.
We visited AI on The Great Ocean Road.
For the first time, you admired the scenery was great,
While standing at a cliff, looked down to the coast line.
The blue sky reflected on the water,
The waves splashed onto the rocks
Formed strong collisions then sprayed into the air.
I was so excite...

Every Which WaySuzie lived next door to Tom, and their families were the best of friends;
Like toffee clouds, chasing rainbows, once the blue storm wildly spends!
Tom and Susie enjoyed playing together, since they were the same age;
Like fine art, in the age of colors, when beautiful became all the rage!
Bike riding and hide and seek, roller skating...

Our second trip on ANZ day2024.4.25. Thursday
It was ANZAC day, a public holiday.
It was our 2nd trip, we visited SR.
Misjudged the weather, cloudy and windy,
Crossed the bridge twice
Misread the bus time table,
Ended up wasting lot of time,
Sitting at the bus stop waiting.
The weather was drilled, the sky was grey,
The wind was brushing on our faces,
It was cool than expected.
On...

Where Is Home?Our hearts romanticize the vagabond.
To walk away from all that brings you down.
It’s true we’re free to get up and be gone.
In search of new horizons to be found.
Always snipping at the ties that bind us
And doing all you would just as you may.
Worries can all just be left behind us.
‘Cause in the morn we...

Mr AbbottMr. Abbott
Mr. Abbott bought a
steam powered Stanley
He felt it made him
look rather manly
He has a large
handlebar moustache
Constantly covered in
soot and ash
In his finery,
goggles and gloves
He would wave at his
imaginary loves
Over the hills
and over the dales
He would frequently stop
for supplies and sales
Horses...

Our first day trip2024.4.20 Saturday one year ago.
It was our first trip ever.
We visited S back beach.
A warm beautiful sunny day.
This trip would not happen
If my USB was not damaged.
I lost three years worthed of travelling photos and videos.
As soon as you knew about it,
For some unknown reasons,
You promptly promised in your own will
To travel with...

Clouds Talking To Me"Pretty clouds filled with water, then it rains down." By Poet
I love to sit and watch the clouds,
as they dance across the big blue sky.
If I watch and wait what will I see,
animals like a zoo walking by.
One day I ask a big bright white cloud,
where are you going?
I was shocked when it answered back,
off...

You shattered my dream2025.4.20
I was so excited. I was going on a trip,
All the way to New South Wales, Sydney.
Where I last visited in 2006.
This time, I wanted to climb,
On the Australia icon "Sydney Harbour bridge",
Stamped my feet around the Rocks square,
Then on the Sydney Opera House's steps.
I had a choice either up north
To Newcastle and Lake...

Torquay at last
2025.4.18
Easter Friday, a public holiday,
All the shops was closed so as M Cenyralhere ,
There was no piano.
It was fine by me,
I just had to find an alternative.
Yes, I was going to this place,
My first trip of this year,
With beautiful trees line of pines along the shore.
I came here many times before.
Yes, I went pass Geelong,
Visited...

My Beloved’s AbodeWorld-weary and at the end of my tether
Yonder lies my beloved’s abode
Random as the fallen flight feather
Magic horse for me is the only mode
Critical as it is to bring us together
Lamenting, toward the setting sun I rode.

Time right on track
I waited for the midnight train
on the platform in the rain.
It was windy, it was bitter cold
and i was feeling bit frail and old.
Patiently i awaited the arrival of my niece
who was coming home from Greece.
I had time to wander down memory lane
where images flashed wearily in my brain:
she was days old when I held...

Retired Traveller
I’ve finished with travels, for I can’t agree
With the reasons I’m discriminated
Won’t pay for the visa a notable fee
Won’t wait in the queue of migrated
I’m blamed for the crimes which I didn’t commit
Stigmatized for a thing they call “nation”
I’ve nowhere to go and I’ve no one to meet
My train doesn’t stop at your...
