this litter underfoot
eucalyptus leaves, bark like grey silk
melaleuca paper bark smooth soft
a delight to touch, little twigs
redgum flowers like night caps
insects hide make nests
play hide and seek
tumble down deep cracks
in the black soil crickets
ibis feed on them
patrolling morning and night
silence .......

perhaps use the Anonymous, I'd love to have your comment, Tineke
Excellent work. Go forth and create
ReplyDeleteLovely description of ecology from tiny twig to the end of the supply chain and the redgum flowers are almost like fallen stars.
