 * __I Am…__**

I am where I came from… My father’s chocolate eyes My mother’s pale flowing hair This place is my nature Crimson sand Boiling air Monsoonal rain This place is my home… Pouring on a tin roof pleasantly puts me into a dream Croak, green tree frogs in the drains Pandanus Black boy Fox tail The trees that line The long burgundy road to paradise… I am a creature of the tropics…

I now inhabit a scorched place The wind wafts Cracks your lips Cuts you in half The shrubs are sunburnt The rain appears then vanishes within a blink Peppermint trees queue the streets Slimy critters invade the footpath Folks all over the place White lined coast Crashing waves Sapphire Indigo Aquamarine Is this place home? I am a creature of the tropics... more of Ash's poems
