Hi my name is Lisa,
I love to write poetry and short stories,and wanted to share some of my writing with you all .These pieces are a journey through my mind and imagination..A journey from the everyday into a world of fantasy.These pages have been constructed
with the help of a very dear friend
I would love to hear your
comments on it, whether good or bad, so please be
honest, I really need honest opinions.
Swiftly flowing waters lap upon the sides of the houseboat, as it charts the river’s course
The warmth of the sunshine lulls me into a dream of a romantic time as elegant ladies modestly veil delicate complexions with bustle bow and lace umbrellas. Promenading as though on ceremony
They sauntered upon the avenue. Squeals of delight rang out in the crisp morning air as children ran between bails of hay playing tag. I heard horses hooves upon the cobblestones clip clop. Swagmen wander from town to town. Possessions rolled up hanging across one shoulder.
Venturing down to the waters surface kangaroos and wallabies dip their noses into the cool water’s surface with exuberant enthusiasm. With alertness and senses all a keen they dart into the bush with the sound of the paddles steamers whistle as it rounded the bend. Cockatoos and parrots bounded into the sky above clouding the suns warm rays from the surface below. Creating a cacophony of sound, shattering the silence of the river. As the gentle thud of the paddle steamer’s engines rhythmically propels it down the river.
Sunshine shimmers upon the water’s surface like little diamonds fallen from the sky. The captain is in his wheelhouse navigating this treacherous river’s course. Standing majestic and strong against the passage of time the mighty river gum unfolded its branches in defiance of the powder blue sky illuminated above. Churning the waters veneer the paddles created turbulence thrashing the water’s surface. As the water’s of the mighty Murray River glide past on their ceaseless quest towards eternity.
