Freshness comes with the morning rain,
Sweet aromas stir the air,
Rock wallabies huddle under the Banksia,
Cockatoos squawk their disgust,
While sparrows splash about in puddles.
***
The Bottle-Brush droops heavy with wetness,
Streams form in the earth,
Possums scurry to find a drier sleeping place,
Goannas drink their fill,
And eagles find refuge in their lofty nests.
***
Windows transform with trickling moisture,
Dreary clouds threaten the day,
Kangaroos bound through the Aussie bush,
A snake slithers across the path—
I watch the wonder of His great creation.

🙂 I’m pleased you liked it. Australia is a big place. Land mass is almost the same as America. Who would have guessed.
