Another Bush Track. A Sonnet.

Must admit, I struggled with this rhyme pattern a bit, certainly a bit more to them than meets the eye.
Another Bush Track.

A bush track luring, meandering on,
Through towering blue gums and native brush
Of greenery, in such abundance lush,
Where each bend signals; what does beckon yon
Come see around this turn before you’ve gone,
So hastening my pace, though do not rush
As birdlife, from shadows, my footsteps flush,
And scurry to where dimmest light is shone.
What does await the next corner to view!
But really, I should think of changing tack,
For afternoon reflects a changing hue
As darkened shadows fall across the track,
And many times caught out, though such is true,
Just One more corner ...and I might turn back.
