Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(please see my blog): 
WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN 

Once drove an old sedan, up north, 
From a place in Sydney to Cairns; 
Then to Kuranda I went forth, 
By train, to look without set plans.

I browsed through the trendy market, 
With fresh fruits of tropical kind; 
Walked to the creek through lush thicket - 
Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.

I dined in a scenic cafe; 
Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, 
Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, 
You go walkabout with your pen.” 

Request or question, I don’t know -
Assured voices, elderly men.
That’s now several years ago, 
And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.

Thank you for the birthday wishes!! I rarely go on myspace anymore- I'm more of a facebooker these days :) Thanks for the video clip! Fiest is amazing, leave it to her to have modern dance moves in her music video.
How've you been? Are you working on a new book of poems? If you are I'd love to hear more about the direction of your newer poetry!

...and it was good.
How was yours?

Thanks!
