Picture from - www.map-of-australia.us Poetry by me... Celebrating Australia in a new way... My own portrait of Australia... Where my queries are amalgamated with reality and a possible future... Plus some historical fiction of its past and present triumphs as well as its past atrocities. Oh and I can't mention Australia without mentioning its glorious wildlife...
Here is a sample poem - I hope you enjoy -
David Hurt's - Australia: The Rose of Eternal Youth
A petal for peace,
A petal for love,
A petal that embraces the individual,
A petal for kith,
A petal for kin.
A petal for innovation
A petal for creativity,
A petal for imagination,
A petal for inventiveness,
A petal for reason.
A petal for discovery,
A petal for adventure,
A petal for pleasure,
A petal for fun.
A petal for you,
A petal for me,
A petal for the old,
A petal for the young,
A petal for our ancestors,
A petal for our descendants,
A petal for the unfortunate,
A petal for equality,
A petal for all.
A petal for the past,
A petal for the present,
A petal for the future,
A petal for eternity,
A petal for the unknown.
A petal for a rose,
The rose of eternal youth.
Thank you and I hope you enjoy the rest...

Legends: Fall of an Empire
"If you could create your own legacy, what would you do? How would you go about life without a destination or destiny? These are the questions that we must ask ourselves daily, yet can never find the answer to. Would you fight for the injustices of your people, forge a dynasty of those who will rise up and take hold of their capitals? Or will you be the one who dethrones every major power there is? The thing is, you can't answer these questions unless you take a hold of who you are, so what would you do if you had free control to be who you are?" If these questions controlled who you would become, how would you answer? Would you be honest? Would you claim that you could hold the power? These are the questions Kaizer must ask himself as he turns 17.Complete
