See wonder

King parrots, cockatoo's, kookaburra, 

my day begins,  Squishy and Bambi offer me 

a tail wagging greeting, my home on the edge

of the green cauldron,  Peter casually asks, 

do you have snakes?  We'll have to find some 

for you to see, red belly black, brown, green tree, 

 we had a brown carpet snake, python, on the step, 

they get in the roof to eat the mice...

yes,  walk in the grass, and watch

you could see 

wallabies hop by the back door, black, or brown 

one has a joey.

Astral Cafe date scone with jam, cream 

tea in pot, cup and saucer,  

yellow arborite table tops, blue 

booths, padded,  milk shake of the week,

fruit salad, pies savoury here, breads, cakes, 

muffins iced under clear cake cover 

with bird handles, like the ones 

my mother had

"I wonder, " she says in skype conversation , " will you notice as much when you are home?
