FRIDAY WRITINGS # 212..... POETS AND STORYTELLERS UNITED





nico
killed by a shark
swimming in  the harbour
a 12 year old schoolboy gone far
too soon

Tribute from surfers for Nico Antic at Bondi Beach


lucky
when i was young
we swam in the harbour
without fear or a care in the
whole world

weather
is not the cause
we all know what it is
they were here before us so we
must pay

( according to p.c. enlightened wackos)  

 culling
a no no now
no culling no netting
swim at patrolled beaches sharks win
for now

  2. It was raining the day we came to Bondi Beach. All stayed in the bus, only new passengers came in then we went back on our route.
