Relaxing silence of the beach
Shattered by a noisy motor
Combined ill thoughts of everyone
Don't make it falter one iota

A rainbow is a far-off nebulous thing

I prefer the brilliant colours

And patterns in a butterfly's wings

Aussies wear thongs on their feet, use rubbers to erase BIG mistakes, and believe that only police and soldiers should get guns. Happy Australia Day!

Australia Day is here
Time to clear the air
Don't spread Vegemite
Mouth-puckering thick
Just a scrape
Mate!

White breakers roar
Spray blows onshore
Salting my lips

Red sky at dawn
Heralding a storm

The world is always changing
Like ocean breakers foaming
Out of depths calm and unmoving

In the twitterverse tweets come and go
Without mentioning Michelangelo

TS Eliot: 
In the room the women come and go
Talking of Michelangelo

Scent of the forest
Carried by the breeze
Makes homesick
The city's trees

The greatness of the sun fills the sky
As well as the prism in a raindrop's smallness

Sit beside the ocean
Watch seagulls on the wing
Feel the spirit moving
In majestic things

Your dreams play hide and seek
In the dying rays of the sun
Trip over and you'll find one

In the morning after dawn
Paints the clouds with beauty
It never tries to claim
It has copyright
By signing them with its name

The sea writes its words in spray
That the waves carry to the shore
And continually wipe away

Cussing and a spray of this works on Aussie lawnmowers
