Australia - Adelaide Oval On Sunday 8th May 2016 Poem by Paul Warren

Sitting in the Eastern Grand Stand at Adelaide Oval fame
Watching football in the Sunday Night Twilight Game
Port Adelaide and Brisbane were playing Aussie Rules Football
As the sun settled down behind the Western Grandstand stalls

The yellows, browns and reds of an Australian sunset display
Gave a magnificent background to the game at play
There were people on the top of the grandstand roof
Watching and settling above the southern goal quite aloof

The new moon rises in the western sky
As the darkness takes hold slowly by
On the horizon the palm trees of North Adelaide
Stand sentinel next to St Peter's Cathedral as displayed.
