Winter in Australia 


 






The birds fly in formation
They know the way to go,
They’ll stay for the duration
Of the Southern Mountain's snow.

The whales are swimming north
The seas are getting cool,
Tails splashing they go forth
Singing with their school.

Though it’s not my desire
through June and through July
I stay and light a fire
With no wings to fly.


Alas,
No wings have I.

Seems crazy, thinking of you guys in winter, I wonder if your Christmas cards have snow on, with the red robin...

As I kid I used to wish the world was mad of glass, cos the we could look up the aussie girls skirts, blimey somethings just don't change...

A great mystery to me how the animals have more sense than us, nipping off to a warmer climate...

Guess it's Quantas that have the wings...

Well enjoy the winter with content....

Bittersweet seasonal sentiments, Joyce. Here, it is the start of the warmer times although they have been slow in coming so far. Best wishes to you. Love and peace,

Alas, neither do I, but I often wish I did.

Enjoyed this poem, Joyce, and the pictures. Nature is truly a marvelous thing.
