David Franks: Walkabouts Verse


Online Now!


Jun 26 2009 5:22 PM

(Hi: enjoyed my visit.) 

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... 

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.

(C) David Franks 2003

Thanks for the add Nick.
It's nice to hear some real music.
Are you playing in the south east this year?

I can't believe it! The Clapping Sisters are coming to Edinburgh next week and you'll be in Germany!!!! Bad, bad timing!! And worst of all, I wanted to bring Silke to one of the Ring-Concerts and now you nearly only tour the north and the east.
Ts, ts, I'll keep that in mind and the revenge will be tremendous - in April, ho ho ho!!!
