"rondelet" poems
a silver moon
beams over the bushland tonight
a silver moon
like an illuminated spoon
gleaming with a glimmer so bright
to the eye giving such delight
a silver moon

a blaze of stars
decorate the bush sky's darkness
a blaze of stars
their lighting is like glitter bars
twinkling in arraying brightness
exhibiting beautifulness
a blaze of stars

the sky this night
bathes in a luminous gleam
the sky this night
an orb so effulgent of light
stretching across the pitch dark stream
it's a nocturnal lunar dream
the sky this night

so effulgent
the daffodils of brightest shade
so effulgent
bold trumpets e'er magnificent
they grew along the esplanade
showing a splendid tonal grade
so effulgent

winter lingers
down in the southern hemisphere
winter lingers
still we're feeling those cold fingers
spring's warm touch hasn't yet arrived here
as the days stay so dismally drear
winter lingers

an azure hue
presides over our bush patch
an azure hue
such an imposing shade of blue
brilliant the colour in dispatch
of its resplendence there's no match
an azure hue

I do not know
Why the sky is blue, the grass, green.
I do not know
When no one hears, does the **** crow?
Did we come from a God, unseen?
What all of the answers would mean
I do not know.

elm branches dance
to the tempo of the wind's pace
elm branches dance
their leaves caught by its light trance
which has the daintiness of grace
swaying like a whisper's embrace
elm branches dance

a ghostly boat
sailed over the sky's dark sea
a ghostly boat
in manner so slow it did float
ambling the universe's lea
drifting like a lunar lit pea
a ghostly boat

a smiling sun
arose to greet the newborn day
a smiling sun
beamed such gleefulness of fun
spreading o'er the land joy's bright ray
on making an entrance e'er gay
a smiling sun

grass blades sprout
as August's days are dying fast
grass blades sprout
with a lush greenness so very stout
the sky's generosity repast
bringing robust drops for a cast
grass blades sprout

a mixed bag
is the odd weather for to-day
a mixed bag
the fast wind whirling its south swag
in minutes changing to calm sway
quite the spectacle on display
a mixed bag

thunder volleys
roll across the evening's sky
thunder volleys
drumming like the wheels of trolleys
a crescendo so loud in ply
as the grumbling noise trundles by
thunder volleys

a star burns bright
for our brothers of poetic art
a star burns bright
viewing their poems a sheer delight
this Christmas we'll feel their depart
none surviving erasure's dart
a star burns bright

day's open fold
reveals an orb of bright shining
day's open fold
arising attired in gold
emerging out of night's lining
to exhibit her sun's climbing
day's open fold

with glints so bright
this morn the sun's happy orb did rise
with glints so bright
bedazzling of a shining light
was to an eye fine in surprise
its radiance nice to apprise
with glints so bright

breaking blue hue
presides o'er the bush to-day
breaking blue hue
all plots of azure retinue
adorning brightly in array
a perfect color to display
breaking blue hue

(warm)th, (gold)en
skin, a canvas for parody
warm(th), gold(en)
temperate air of melody
twists the tidal antibody
towards bowing phrase of prosody
(war)mth, gol(den)

of tearful air
the sky is on this very day
of tearful air
drops being shed in an unhappy fair
the saddest mood there to display
as if nature had turned gray
of tearful air

fog's thicket shroud
hangs over our village this morn
fog's thicket shroud
it lingers like low lying cloud
where its density is heavily worn
without a transparency being born
fog's thicket shroud

a fire spiteful
raced across lands clad in trees
a fire spiteful
burning with a vengeance dreadful
boughs weren't spared from high degrees
flaming the rule to its decrees
a fire spiteful

the bright sunny morn
induced birds into loud singing
the bright sunny morn
their chorusing rousing of horn
as if they were message ringing
a day replete in much shining
the bright sunny morn

morn's open fold
displayed a golden sunlight
morn's open fold
where lucent beams did beam so bold
upon the sky's blue parchment sight
a picture of dawn's entrance bright
morn's open fold

she wouldst collect
personal details on her slate
she wouldst collect
then transfer them onto his sect
these items of the private plate
used in ruining good folks fate
she wouldst collect

a dull grey cloth
slung over the blue sky's brightness
a dull grey cloth
so drab in its glum tinctures sloth
hiding the day's mood to lightness
clouds dreary of unsightliness
a dull grey cloth
