a damp winter's day

dank twas its cold feel

muzzles a dissenting voice
lest it speak of truth

of yellow rose blooms

a choir of currawongs chorus
their melodic tune

hang from wattle tree branches
along the Gap road

there's an element of luck

did meet with the blue of sky
on the horizon

was as if the two
hues of blue were the one shade
in that far off line

rolled across the vast skies
resounding their blasts

partake of a green salad
for one's midday meal

lightly pirouettes around
