A change of scene, of hemisphere
In Routine ‘s curtain, makes a tear
My mundane actions lose their bite
And attitudes change – overnight.
Winter months – in summer sun!
A change of mood, alternate fun
Not “upside down” but way-off-beam
In short, an otherworldly dream …
The fear of bushfires is intense
Cyclone damage is immense
But smiles can often make my day
Conferring warmth to my brief stay.
Australia seems so surreal;
Encapsulating how I feel
Depends perhaps on weather news
With little rain, how I enthuse!
Europe’s footprint here is light
My reference points are out of sight
But this land of settlers, history-scarce
