Poem - My Uncles Farm



Down the South of the country
Past cities,  many towns 
And endless grass and eucalyptus trees 
Lived my Uncle on his farm 
Such a long drive from a little sleepy country town 
Past so many huge trees by the road 
Past many other farms and paddocks 
Nestled in a secret nook no-one would ever find 
In its own little world 
Appeared,  a little farm cottage house
Amongst a healthy bright green garden 
And out in the distance,  vast lush green hilly paddocks 
You immediately see a small lake down behind the cottage and down behind a few fruit trees 
"Ruff ruff!" You meet Woody my uncles large golden beige farm dog.  He is young and loves his free adventurous life on the farm!  
Inside the cottage feels like a cozy cabin.  You feel it has history as it has some age to it.  The kitchen and dining area is to the left overlooking the back garden and small lake and living area is to the right with a hearty fireplace.  The bedrooms are in the back of the house.  
It's time to take a walk around the farm so I go down to the first farm gate and then walk along the dirt track next to the cattle paddocks.  It's a beautiful beautiful bright day and I hear beautiful bird call from little birds and sometimes see sparrows playing around on the paddock fence.  As I keep walking I see the herd of light brown cattle.  I feel like they are very intelligent and aware and friendly.  
The cattle stare at me in a friendly way as I keep walking. 
Eventually I reach a grassy hill and start climbing up it for fun and to get a view from the top.  
I trudge through the thick lush farm grass making my way steadily to the top.  
When I reach the top I sit down for awhile and admire the beautiful view.  I can see so far into the distance and see beautiful blue-green mountains far in the distance.  I really feel like my breath is taken away.  This travel has made me feel and realize what a huge country I live in.  
When you have a beautiful view like that,  you just have to stay there for a while taking the moment and everything in.  
Soon enough it's time to head back and the walk back is much the same.  
Back at the cottage I walk with my mum into the back garden and down to the small lake.  I am so happy when I see a group of kangaroos on the farm in the distance.  
My uncle points out to us areas where he is planting patches of native trees around the edges of the farm. 
I also spot a beautiful big red king parrot in a tree nearby.
Those are my main memories of visiting my uncles farm,  a truly lovely place.

dreams Wednesday 18 sept 2024 - Olly Alexander

Last night I dreamed I went on a date with a guy who liked me and was also doing this challenge where you went through rooms and ended up at this one where you had to take care of bats and go through the process of taking care of them to get out of the room.  The guy was rating me on different qualities compared to other girls he dated. He rated me highly except for being social and in groups. He told me I should be a model. I said I felt different from everyone else because I have a different personality and my personality is too unique and I don't fit in because of that.  I dreamed I kept meeting old friends from school or childhood and reconnecting with them.  I also dreamed I went to a family bbq and saw lots of family there including newborn pets that my brother and his wife had.  I saw a vision of my grandma when she was 50 dressed up for some celebration and noticed she had the same hair as my mother.  I dreamed I knew Olly Alexander when he was younger a...

Poem - Koda The Kitty

At my new house  Now living with housemates  There was word around town  That a new kitty was around  His name was Koda  He came to us young  He was a sweetie and good company  A friend a good one  But when Koda was grown  He could show his other side  Believing he's a king above humans  He could be rude  And hiss when they don't do what they're told  Like letting him into my room  Or daring to pet and touch him  When he's not in the mood  Like every cat I guess he's just unique  He loves his cat towers  He loves his food and his treats  He gets on mostly well with his sister Luna  He's glad to have a companion  So the days aren't too lonely and long  But Koda is still good company  He likes just spending time with you  And he can still be a sweetie  The way he looks in my eyes it's true  There must be love there  Koda is Koda  Hissy and royal but f...

Dreams Tuesday 10 June 2025 - Aliens

Last night I dreamed aliens came to earth but it wasn't as scary as I thought it'd be. I first saw them zooming in a spaceship across the sky. Then the spaceship helped a ship full of people that had turned over and brought it to shore.  Robert Irwin was in an apartment next to me and said to me that he'd seen the alien spaceship too but he wasn't afraid.  I think the Aliens wanted to be in control and lead everyone but didn't want to kill everyone just maybe any leaders that resisted them.  And I think they liked people and were interested in us and kind of saw us as pets.  I think in my dream they took a human form and were bigger than us.  I think maybe the Aliens also wanted to help the world and help resolve wars etc as they wanted to step in and help humans.
