Nature’s Simple Perfection
written by: Jane Bradshaw
Desert roses – lacy pink and white
Colours dimmed only by the night
Growing wild – no leaves – just perfect flowers
Living by the sea – imbuing their powers
Wallabies – big and small – around they scout
A big boy is glaring – watch out
A mother – pouch scraping the ground
Her little baby scurrying around
Peacocks – the males strutting – so beautiful
Blue – like sapphires – looking for a mate who’s suitable
Plain and nondescript – females chasing – desiring
Looking – wanting – and transpiring
The ocean – majestic and soothing – sublime
In the heat of the day – it cools the sunshine
A myriad of colours – mixing blues and greens
Something so beautiful – a sight to be seen.
Jane hails from the distant shores of Darwin, in the Northern Territory of Australia. She has lived there all her life and has raised three young Adults. After 7 years as a Loans Officer and 6 years as a Rates Officer Jane found herself at university, studying to be a Primary School Teacher. Now in her seventeenth year of teaching, she has taken on the challenge of being the Student Wellbeing and Inclusion Teacher at her school. Jane has been a part of a poetry writing group for over five years and a short story writing group for over four years. Her passion for writing began in high school, and she continues to write because it is a deep intrinsic part of who she is. She has been published in four Anthologies, on a few writing platforms and one day she hopes to have her own collection of poems and a novella published.
