STRESS!

(An Acrostic)

Snap! You've reached that breaking point!

The whole wide world is out of joint!

Rage us surging through your veins!
Every thought disturbs your brains!
Seems you can't help seeing red!

*
Soak in a nice hot bath instead.

THOUGHTS OF SPRING IN AUTUMN

We must wait till September, till Spring arrives once more.

Winter is knocking at the window and who knows what’s in store?

Today the first of the chilly winds came whistling down the street,

And the last of the summer flowers are finally admitting defeat.

Yet, throughout winter, there are rainbows, and colour still remains;

The Winter flowers grow bravely welcoming refreshing rains.

Here Summer is always a trial, when cool days are so rare,

And so we rejoice in Winter; so much easier to bear.

Yet still we long for Springtime, when the wattle flaunts its gold

And the glorious jacaranda is a glory to behold.

Australia has its seasons, though far more subtle than yours,

Here, in the land of Upsidedown, we’re obeying different laws!
