In South West Victoria A Typical Winter's Day Poem by Francis Duggan

In South West Victoria A Typical Winter's Day



The sun behind gray rain clouds is hidden away
In coastal south west Victoria a wet and windy day
June that began with sunshine ending wet, windy and gray
Above average rainfall in June following a dry and sunny May
Old Merri bank high in flood waters of brown
Flowing with a loud babble towards the ocean near Warrnambool Town
A forecast temperature high for the day of eleven degrees
And rain slanting down in the freshening breeze
A cool and wet day in June in Winter's depths of the year
Yet the song of the magpie is so pleasant to hear
And though little sunshine of late and the sky seldom clear
Every day to the Spring brings us one more day near
Rain drizzling down from rain clouds of gray
In south west Victoria a typical Winter's day.
