Engulfed
by the sea
of pessimism
swamped
...
I live with the hand
that life brings
the mistakes were mine
doctors killed the tumour
...
The Agapanthus
for generations
lined the carriageways
and driveways of Australian farms
...
The much vaunted edifice
all it did
was gather
dust
...
Our beloved land
of green and gold
of rich red hills
and golden shores
...
A cautionary tale
Worms its way
To my sleep
And flowers
...
