[hometext] => To a mate
[bodytext] => Moon sits on my shoulder above the saltbush plain cattle now bedded for the night looks like we're in for rain. The stirrups are a jingling like a lively, merry tune and I think I'll tell our story to old man yellow moon. I think of days long gone now when we tramped the track we were the toast of every town out in the vast out back. We'd come and do the races or perhaps a gala ball but we would always be as one together we would fall. And I often think about you old mate, and what we did how we'd muster up a cleanskin mob to keep us off the skid. Or go fencing for a living out on the western plains and swear and curse the blessed soil and sweat buckets from the strain. As I lay upon my swag now I still see your cheeky smile and wonder where you are now and those lonely distant miles. So old mate I bid you well and hope you're on a real good run as I tend now to my dogs I'll toast you with a rum. I'll watch the campfire burning out here where you have been and remember what we've done in the past, and what we both have seen. So with yellow moon a rising I must ponder unknown fate Strangely I hear those familiar words "How ya' goin' mate." "How ya' goin' mate."

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
