Funny you’d say that. It was raining all last night and the mercury dropped you’d think it would slip backward to winter! We did the laundry with the damp, overcast sky - the laundry liquid is Waratah scented as well. Pretty confused climates youda thort we were in Melbourne.

A beautiful expression of the dichotomy between day and night stated. I love the line. God ran out of ideas. And also- Cover up the darkness with something even darker. Beautifully stated

The Rain Over Kiama.

This poem leaves me with the feeling of Steinbeck, Hemingway, and Joseph Conrad. It is highly literary and set the scene with imitate that is wondrous and beautiful. A masterful work.

How’s the Kiama blowhole these day! So tucked away you’d miss it at the next street. Used to love driving to Geroa and Gerringong. The cemetery by the cliff has an amazing vantage point- in a storm as well!

Such beautiful words in a haunting poem, the warns of the pain life gives out. Classically worded it itself, calls out from the far beyond. Wonderfully written.

Reminds me of my Dad. I suffered terrible nightmares as a small child and I would scream out for him. He was always there. He was there for me right up till the day he died. This is a beautifully composed poem. Speaks to me of fatherly love and protection. Much enjoyed David. Thank you for posting.

A type of short saga that speaks to the heart of anyone that has had children and in this metaphor may be speaking to one\'s own inner child.

Oh my. This is such a touching write David. I’ve got a tear in my eye. Life can be so cruel and I know all about cancer. Such a deep sense of loss here and sadness too. Poignant poetry. Touched the core.

sorenbarrett said:
At first, I thought you were riding about an old folks home which might be the case. Nonetheless, it sounds even more grim and maybe a morgue or mortuary. Then again this may be a metaphor for how we see ourselves and others nicely written.
