More animal poetry is on the way when I listen to what the animals say
I’ve finished writing “Seahorse Medicine for future humans” and my next step is to illustrate, edit and format for print but that takes time and money both of which are stretched thin at the moment. However, I do keep on writing and now have enough poetry for a second book of children’s animal poetry (Seahorse Medicine Too Grow) as well as begining on a third collection called “Seahorse Medicine Three: Animals speak through me.”
The following poems will be included in the third book
The Bush Turkey
The Bush turkey is a nurturing man
Hatches the eggs because he can
In the forest
Scratch around
Pile the leaves
Bush turkey mound
Raises the kids
For his wife
Father nurtures
New young life
Feels the temperature
Neck of yellow
Patient waiting
Until chicks cheep, “hello”
“Daddy, daddy we love you”
For all the nurturing
You do”
Bush turkey
With a head of red
Yellow necklace
Powerful legs
Wings of Black
Lustre Shine
You nurture life
You are
Divine
Brother Bush turkey
Came toward me
His three sisters hid away
He’d come over as a decoy
To protect his sisters
What a boy
There was dad
Working hard
Big yellow neck
Scratching hard
With powerful legs
Adjust the temperature
Incubating eggs
Gentle men
Care and protect
Nurture family
And respect life
Just like a Bush turkey
Soldier Crabs 1
Sensitive and strong
With armour of blue
Left right left right
How do you
Not trip over
With so many legs
Running all together
And not tangle your legs?
Tiny Birds
Little tiny birds fly towards the light
To escape the darkness and when they’re closed inside
Up towards the heaven where the sun lights up the sky
Little birds swoop and soar towards the light up high
Read on to find out about my newest book End Prohibition Poetry Nimbin Mardi Grass 2019 released especially for the cannabis law reform rally in Nimbin, New South Wales, Australia,
I arrived in Nimbin in early May 2017 for Mardi Grass and met another newcomer to Nimbin by the name of Daniel Walmsley. Daniel was a kind young man in his mid twenties and talented artist who had just received an arts grant. He was excited to be able to do what he loved and be paid for it. Unfortunately for Daniel he overdosed and choked in his vomit early one Saturday morning. I happened to be going for an early morning walk when I came across a nurse trying to resuscitate Daniel and gave assistance
The following poem is dedicated to the memory of Daniel and all the victims of the “War on drugs” which is really a war on people who were not able to get safe doses when they were self medicating because of the punitive justice system which puts “users” in to “fear of truth”, hiding their addictions and unable to get assistance in recovery. Daniel Walmsley
It started on a cold Friday
The drumming circle, dance and play
All the families gathered around
Barefoot on the cold hard ground
Drummers drumming having fun
Stomping feet down goes the sun
Fires burning in the parks
Shooting stars and burning sparks
Rhythmic hands all beat it out
The drumming circle dance about
Nimbin on a Friday night
Drum and dance by fire light
They bring their drums out to the street
Where dancing feet move to the beat
Dreadlocks smokes it clean and green
He beats his blue drum with the team
Down by the fire at the Oasis
There’s lots of friends and friendly faces
Try this hit, it won’t hurt you
He overdoses and starts to spew
Starts the walk to hospital
“I’m OhDee-ing” He starts to call
Falls down to the cold hard ground
In his vomit starts to drown
Nurse and passers by all thump
On his heart they start to pump
“Call an ambulance” they cry
“Daniel, Daniel, please don’t die
CPR the people start
Giving breath and pumping heart
Police and ambulance arrived
For forty five minutes we all tried
Sun comes up cold Saturday
Daniel’s soul flies away
Leaving behind broken hearts
Drawing and paintings of Daniel’s arts
Overdosed on cold concrete
Laying dead with cold bare feet
End prohibition right now, today
Harm minimisation saves lives we say
Laying on the cold hard ground
His heart stopped and just shut down
His life might be a memory
End prohibition for safety

Sample
If you were the parent of a child who was sick would you give cannabis to your son named Rick?
If you were a wife of a man with cancer would you give cannabis as a life enhancer?
If you were a doctor and you knew a cure, pharmaceutical poisons or a herb that’s pure?
If a harmless herb can heal many people why is it registered, licensed, illegal?
