I have been writing for a number of years but originally got the bug when working as a journalist and later as a copy writer for channel 9. Short stories and poetry about the Australian bush have formed a large part of my writing.
+ more bio informationHELLO YOU Hello you, with your beautiful smile, Do you wat to stop and talk awhile? Do you want to tell me of the day you've had? Did you enjoy going out in the bush with your dad? Have you found all the wonderful things that are there? Did you turn all the rocks over with expectancy and care? Did you find a bird nest with b...

THE QUIET OF THE NIGHT Why do you come to me in the quiet of the night Stealthily drifting through my mind. Could you not make yourself known, in the full light of day, When my turmoil is not so unkind.

POSSIBILITIES UNBOUND The wind tugs at the leaves as though anxious to be on its way. The trees start to shake and quiver, and the limbs begin to sway. A dried old leaf gives up its fight to hold to its bark covered branch. It's seen so many things pass by, things that would entrance. Drifting past a nest of young robins, th... More..
RACE WITH THE WIND Race with the wind, hold your head up to the sky. Feel the sun on your face, the land racing by. See the trees of the land in their garb of luxurious green. Watch the escarpments glide past, their testament to what has been. Know the moulding of a race, the love, the death, the fear. Of a people fighting f... More..
NOCTURNAL PATROL The sun sets on the shoulder of a cloud, And twilight cloaked the land. The breeze gentled, night time draped its shroud, The moonlight reached out its hand.

THE NEXT SUNRISE The morning mist is clearing now And the deer are on the move. You hear the lonely call of a cow, Your surrounds you could not improve. Hear the soft sigh of a breeze, As it drifts throughout the hills. The continued droning of the bees, As they use their gathering skills. Your horse is tired after a long ni... More..
WHISPER OF A BREEZE Silently the night comes on the whisper of a breeze, The ripple of the stream, the dim reflection of the trees. The serenity of the quiet as the birds settle down, The calling of the wild geese, their formation flying to skies unbound. The quoll scurries through the fallen leaves of the day, Seeking beetl...

SILENCE OF THE NIGHT The sun sinks below the horizon Softly tinting the scattered cloud. Dusk brings the day to closing, Then night rules the world with its shroud. Wild creatures graze quietly on grassland. Night birds silently watch for their prey. Mist slowly drifts through the forest, Surrounding all in its ghostly grey.... More..
A MOTHERS LOVE A mother's love has no bounds It is there your entire life. When trouble seems to bowl you down And your days are full of strife. You know that even should she not agree With the direction you are taking. She will always be there to hug you close Her own opinion forsaking. You reach an age where you've proven ... More..
