well, nice to read another poem written by you. Thanks for sharing.

Im so excited I cant stand it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been waiting so long for a new poem from you,
I feel like I just won the lottery!!! :-)

This poem is rich with imagery....
I love it!!!!

Congratulations Nicko,

Happy to see this peice on the front page.

I love this and it's so you - I can easily picture you on your piece of land in Australia, mulling over the start of a new day and breathing it all in.

Nicko...it's so nice to see a poem from you after so long and...it's one that I can relate so very well to!

Those pesky kookaburras wake me every morning but...I wouldn't have it any other way :)

Above, suns sweet whisper of dawn,
reaches through branch and leaf.
Freckling the ground like random patchwork,
still damp from darkness’s nightly kiss

Love this image but..should suns be sun's?

A whistle awakes my reverence,
My soot blackened kettle calls out.
Tea bag in hand.
An early morning cuppa for a sentimental fool.
What can be better than that ….

Adore this stanza...so typical Australian!

Simply beautiful. I could close my eyes and picture it perfectly. Mission accomplished!

Your imagery is first class fella, really this is an awesome write - the first i've read from you...i'll be back hahahaha

Ben

I had to read this again....dude this freakin rocks.

I was reading this this morning and it made me laugh because i can see i've already been here twice hahahaha awesome write Nicko!

I always enjoy poems about the typical things people do in life, so raw that I can relate and the beauty of the poem etches something in the heart. Great piece.

A well deserved win it really brings Austrailia into my home. I wish I was there right now Milly x

Fantastic imagery! Blew me away! Was almost like being there

A whistle awakes my reverence,
My soot blackened kettle calls out.
Tea bag in hand.
An early morning cuppa for a sentimental fool.
What can be better than that ….

The final stanza though? Amazing!
