AoTEARoa aka New Zealand
Spine chilling velocity Willing feverish ferocity Pollution spilling atrocity Pushes our buttons Top billing forging Fiendish drilling pomposity Gluttons gorging in the isles of muttons Coining the term “purloining” Plunder even here down under Cast asunder..can hear the thunder In the proud land of The long white cloud Scold from the fold to heal But won’t listen..do a deal Gaudy gems appeal..glisten History sold for pieces of gold Cower to...

In the tea trees to the whistling song thrush I alone hear the first September dawn, and outside beyond ryegrass, fern and rush glisten woolly coats of sheep early shorn. Smell the petrichor and jade scented hedge, the lambs, the honey bees in pollen’s net - that botany of sights and sounds, that...

Zealand
Sparkling clear And singing low Free as a migrant As you go A ripple here A current there An ebb and flow With an idle air A twist and turn And you carry on Water-borne And pure as dawn...

To the red dust of the Highveld plains and KwaZulu koppies; Where young feet roamed and in its earth-breathe did romp Beneath golden haze, as in an oil canvas, the sunset lay ...

Me From Here
In the land of Aotearoa, where stories intertwine, Where the waves caress the shores, and mountains proudly shine, I raise my voice to honor those who came before, As a descendant of Karitane, a Maori forevermore. From the ancient mists of time, our ancestors arose, Guided by the stars, their wisdom always shows, In Karitane's embrace, they lived, they thrived, And their...

I'M Ready If You Are : Feb 2017
I'm ready if you are. Steadily walking past wekas, canoes, sailboats, motorboats, along concrete paths, down ash-felt slopes Across intersecting car trails Drawn only by the beckoning beach. Feet slipping over Northland's rough green grass Damp, spongy, smooth grit of coarse golden sand Surrounding bush covered hill houses Silently call your name, drowning out the cicadas. 'Where are you? Did you come? I'm ready...

We Are Not Islands : May 2016
We are not islands We of the islands of N and Z placed together There are three of us If we were islands We would lie in the sea Sunbathing Waves would lap over us Playfully tickle our sandy shores Crash against our rocky cliffs Throw seaweed onto our beaches. We would see each other On the distant horizons on a clear day We would never meet Never...

A New Zealand Visit With the Maori People
During a tour in this island nation, a Maori guide was seeking a nomination. Among our tour he sought out a spokesman, to respond to the chief's words, as a small token. "Sir, will you represent your touring tribe?" "Yes," I responded, "for a very large bribe!" I wanted to know what was required. Giving a speech was nothing I desired. "No....

Premium Member My Spontaneous Trip To New Zealand
I booked a plane for New Zealand and headed out. The instant the plane landed I saw a kangaroo to chase. The other passengers were amused, but airport security wasn’t. I was chased by the best of them, and dragged to a holding area. There were other convicts here. We entertained each other. For several hours – breaking out the...

What You Need To Know About New Zealand
In New Zealand, Even the rich have few servants, We are a nation that expects one to serve oneself. Our idea of rich, Is to own your own home, With barbecue space out the back, And a nice car in the garage. Most of us consider servants, More trouble than they are worth, We may have a cleaner in once a week, Or...

New Zealand Sunrise
I see the mountain far aloft, Its grace and beauty shine and oft', I wonder from which vantage best, to seek the wonders of its crest. Yet this mound I wish not to climb, for from here is the most sublime, a feeling, when it's needed most. To conquer'd make this pang a ghost. So I'd prefer to sit and dream. Than lose forever,...
