Poem Artwork

The Spirit of Sydney is eons old
Timelessly ancient, its history bold
Upheld by the traditional custodians of the land
The Gadigal people of Eora Nation truly made a stand

Eora was their nation and Eora means ‘here’.
When the British asked ‘where are you from?’ they stated, ‘here, here’.
For this place was their place and always will be
The essence of the local Aboriginal people builds the Spirit of Sydney

So let’s take a look at this glorious land
View her magnificent beauty from wherever we stand
See the Sydney Harbour with its iconic Bridge and House by The Rocks
A National Park with islands, foreshores and great swimming spots

Sydney’s urban landscape, a jumble of styles and mediums
Portrays 200 years of architectural movement, a visual timeline therein
The city’s history, cultural influences and progress is revealed
Defying its lack of cohesion, increasing interest in Sydney is understood

The Spirit of Sydney encompasses vast community
A multi-cultural nation with rich diversity 
Offers a dynamic, global meeting place to the people of the world
Lit by stunning harbour vistas - a sight to behold!

And to think that the pioneering inhabitants were all criminals and miscreants sent there by England to get rid of them. Isn't it wonderful what ruffians and bad people can create while preserving the aboriginal heritage?

This poem, Suzie, has very strong rhythms and rhymes. There is a force to the poetry that is impressive. Also a fine tribute to the Aboriginies and the "spirit" of Sydney. Nice work.

That's one place I would love to visit. I was thinking next year or in a few. It's either there or Alaska. Your poem really motivates me to visit soon. Thank you!

Borderline Anti-Memory PastBook by Dr. Patrick ODougherty

The Borderline Anti-Memory PastBook asks questions a diary does not ask and raises the questions to dialectics and answers them in a way a memory work does not answer questions.
