Australia (acrostic)
Aborigines lived here for forty thousand years
Under the starry sky's, they lived off the land.
Storms, droughts and fires
Throughout the millenniums
Ravished the land, but they survived.
According to their culture
Loyal to the land they remained
Ignoring all the ill they endured from the white
Aborigines have not yet lost the fight

The twelve apostles....
In the stormy Southern Ocean
where cold winds are blasting
majestically raise the twelve apostles
erected tens of meters high
like they've just left the land near by
on a journey, walking on water
across the seven sees
to tell the world, off
Australian wonders never seen
Showered by the salty ocean spray,
at sunrise they shimmer in yellow gold
changing colours through out the day;
from dark and foreboding in shade
to brilliant red Cowper at sunset,
delighting visitors and travelers
on the Victoria's Great Ocean Road

In some countries they eat dogs
I'm so sad,
beyond sad
i am mad
i think I'll cry
for all the dogs they fry
I need to scream in someones ear;
Do i make myself clear! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
You can not eat dog
You can eat a hog
even a frog (like in France)

Ginger cat (Villanelle)
I am a spoiled, lazy ginger cat
I am lying on the sofa all day long
And yes, i am a cat that is very fat
I am posh and proud to be your pet
I n your eyes i never do wrong
I am a spoiled, lazy ginger cat
I will not chase that dirty rat
I am OK, on the sofa is were i belong
And yes, i am a cat that is very fat
You can bash the rat with a bat
Cook him in a pot, feed him to Mr Chong
I am a spoiled, lazy ginger cat
Other cats see me and they frat
I am a top cat, i lead with a midnight song
And yes i am a cat that is very fat

You are a woman
If your identity
is insecurity,
self image,
body image,
self hate, self blame,
repetitive dark thoughts
cluttering your mind;
not worthy,
not beautiful,
not thin enough, not tall enough,
not smart enough,
not dark enough, not white enough........
It's time to stop,
It's time to love and accept your self.
It's time to be gentle and kind to your self,
Take it easy
Take it slowly
One day at a time
One minute at a time.
Connect to the light,
