COPYCATS

They're both 'afloat' on Sydney Harbour,

At ease in the sun;

One designed for culture

And one designed for fun.

But both of them owe their curving shape

To the curved waves of the sea.

And both of them look as though they're saying

'Hey there! Look at me!'

DABBLING

When I dabble in poetry,

Dip my toe in that thrilling sea,

The pickings are often very lean,

Verbal garbage..... know what I mean?

Sometimes utter trash appears,

Result of all my sweat and tears.

But, sometimes, there's a golden phrase

Which never ceases to amaze!

I fall on it with joyful cries!

(I doubt if this effort qualifies!)
