In Illowa Today Poem by Francis Duggan

The sky above the coastal Lands looking gloomy and gray
And the sun behind rain clouds from view hiding away
The weather changes quickly in late Fall in May
It is cool and windy in Illowa today
A magpie is warbling on a blackwood tree
And magpie larks in the paddocks are calling pee wee
The feathered minstrels of Nature one often does hear
Some birds call and sing every day of the year
Nature at her finest is to be seen
After recent rain the countryside is looking quite green
Wherever i turn to look beauty i see
The beauty of Nature is quite amazing to me
But the sun from view behind gray clouds is hiding away
It is cool and windy in Illowa today.
