Baby Boy

-
Big, brown innocent eyes,
Watching my each and every move,
Taking in all of your surroundings,
While you grow into your groove.

Soft, light ash brown wavy hair,
Growing in its own little direction,
Your happy little innocent face,
Completes your natural perfection.

Watching you grow inch by inch,
Each new tiny white pearled tooth,
Sleepless long nights one after one,
Leaves me exhausted and a bit aloof.

Yet evey time I look at you, my son,
Snuggled blissfully near my breast,
I can't help beam, smiling in awe, 



Knowing I've been greatly blessed.

Drought

Leaves falling from dying trees, That normally survive the hot dry, Animals bogged in fast drying dams, Dying right where they now lie, Young stock orphaned and weak, Hand raised otherwise they'd die. Once lush grass plains, reduced to dirt, Everything in sight covered in thick dust, Farmers struggling to continue on, Minds drifting to better times with lust, Reality brings another scarce withered crop, They soldier on, because they know they must. Available water sources drying before their eyes, Nature dealing another ghastly knock, De-stocking, selling up, re-writing survival plans, Become a dark reality not to mock, As affordable grain and other fodder supplies, Get harder to find for their stock.

Exhaustion claims the bo...

Aeroplane

Aeroplane up in the air, As you go by kids stop and stare, Soaring all that way up high, In a crystal or cloudy sky. Roaring jets to crop-dusters, Cargo, passengers, cattle musters, Flying tigers, perhaps a roo, All that and more is easy for you. Soaring high from coast to coast, If you go down you’ll be toast, Flying domestic or international, For this world you’re so substantial. Emergencies or fun holidays, you get us there with less delays, Red and pink and white and blue, Here to there you get us through.

Keg

Rolly, Polly, Fluffy puppy, Bouncing across the cactus fields, Dragging his new toddler friend behind, Future loyal fun this pup will greatly yield. His fluffy coat, white, black and tan, Learning how to ever so very fast, Growing up amongst the mulga scrub, Loyal and loving to the very last. Moving from one house to the next, No longer out in the dry grey scrub, Now living in a civilised backyard, But still knowing how to be a grub. Dad to a boisterous puppy litter, One stayed to grow by his side, Every bit her fathers daughter, Alas she was first that died. Over a decade you lived in our lives, But in our hearts forever, Gorgeous Border Collie Keg, Friendly, loyal and clever.
