Two Poems from our Nature Poetry Collection

 
 
MATERIAL WORLD
   
Author: Lee Emmett
   
Poem:
MATERIAL WORLD
   
  soft and silent as moon
subtle and changeable one
loud and direct is other
hard and bright as sun

one weaves cocoon of silk
sleek and smooth as cloud
coarse and rough as hessian
other is strong and proud

can these opposites ever meet
without violent abrasion rude
sea breaks on sand, air fuels fire
basic elementary fusion crude

ST KILDA TOURIST PRECINCT SKETCH
   
Author: Lee Emmett
   
Poem: ST KILDA TOURIST PRECINCT SKETCH
   

black swans on Albert Park Lake
plane trees in Fitzroy Street
alfresco cafes, fellow with tattoo on muscly arm
barefoot young woman backpacker
double-length tram
palm tree at station on Canterbury Road
the George Hotel flaky paint

Royal Melbourne Yacht Squadron
next to war memorial
tall palm on foreshore
sultry, sulky morning
see city of Melbourne beyond pier
great fig tree, Aboriginal meeting place
on corner of Marine Parade
sign indicating Esplanade
and Acland Street
home of some of the city’s finest cakes

St Kilda’s Sea Baths with
Turkish architectural influence
ice-creams main food advertised
plenty of construction going on
looks like giant sand-castles
nearby Luna Park’s big dipper
Donovan’s high class restaurant
on Jacka Boulevard

lighthouse on rocky outcrop
St Kilda Marina is chock a block with vessels
kite board hire truck
Elwood Park, near estuarine drain
hoop pines, more palms
sails cover playground near Ormond Esplanade
racing yachts on Port Phillip Bay
