on the opposite side of
the world
the green budded fingernails
of the frangipani unfurl
to their lush full verdancy
all the flowers stand tall
to see the sun
and open coloured arms
for a full-scented hug
the birds are all a twitter
with nursery nests
and sqeaking chirking beaks
and in the pond small rafts of gelatinous eggs are watched over by frogs
there is that wonderful
tang of warm salt and
eucalypt wafting inthe breeze
autumn for us down
under just a pleasant
memory...
here we now look forward
to the summer sun..
