A day in her lucky life

Fiction not about me but some lucky soul somewhere

Musky yellows
Pinky whites
Mingled with olive maueves
And bluey greens
This is the colours she adores
And black and grey mixed were
On a favourite list too

Helicopter birds flew overhead
And kangaroos hopped past
Like a fighter jet in no haste
Cockatoos squawked loud in unison
And lizards slithered as she passed
Snakes in there too
Glad she had her hiking boots on
Twas What she couldn’t see
She feared the very most

The day was hot
Sweat mingled with her thirst saliva
Hair astray the tail now not so pretty
Her bones getting sorer by the seconds
She meant to rest
But had to keep going
They’d be waiting for her

She saw her little house
The track was clearing
She stopped to look up to the trees
Said a prayer out loud
Thank you God
Heard a kookaburra greeting
And her dogs ran to meet her hungry
For her touch and love

Life is good

When she woke
She looked across at the
Dogs asleep
Lying on rug beside her
She patted in the new day

And made her way to humble kitchen
The coffee beckoned
The bread was hot n crusty
The butter warm melting on her tongue
Time to greet her day

I really liked this poem- It made me think of this girl Nicole that I used to know.. she made me feel weak and small and I envied her

Well written I can't wait to read more

A lucky country, a lucky life...What more can someone ask for. Add a gracious creator who bestowed all these things and you have a good way of life. This was descriptive and enticing in a beautiful way or ways. You did a marvelous job.

I’ll get to yours soon too

been thinking of U lately
Have been watching 'Mystery Road' and a couple of other Aussie flicks and enjoying the scenery
Had a job offer in Perth way back when but didn't think I could handle the heat
Give the dogs a pat
Too many being dumped with the pandemic being so called 'over'
