ABPA - Australian Bush Poets Association

Village street

The village store;
fresh eggs, good coffee, art, fig jam,
old books and more.

The butcher’s shop,
with smell of meat, a chink of steel
and cleaver’s chop.

Strong petrol fumes,
the bowser’s whirr, a spanner’s clink,
exhaust smoke plumes.

A weedy park
a broken swing, some scratchy sand,
kids after dark.

Untimely death
hot tears, warm cakes, kind arms entwined,
soft baby’s breath.

Community
support in need, the casseroles
of unity.
