A January Evening Poem by Francis Duggan

Though my worth as a rhymer i have reason to doubt
In Nature no shortage of things for me to write rhymes about
The day it is warm the sun it is out
In this beautiful place in the far coastal south
The warm air full of the buzzings of bush flies and bees
On this beautiful January evening of just over twenty degrees
White butterflies seemingly dancing in the timid breeze
Above the gardens and paddocks and the sunlit trees
Above the sunlit paddocks in the sunny sky
The dark welcome swallows chirping as they fly
In pursuit of flying insects these speedsters of flight
In Nature there is many a beautiful sight
Earthly Utopia cannot be that too far away
From this beautiful place on this beautiful day.
