Mount Dandenong <br />Olinda <br />Sassafras <br />Ferny Creek <br />Ferntree Gully. <br /> <br />I snake my wintry way <br />through tree ferns <br />heavy and dripping <br />with their drink. <br /> <br />I despair <br />of timid tourists, <br />brake lights blinking <br />winking <br />bright as fire. <br /> <br />I watch the white line <br />beckoning, <br />ribboning, <br />disappearing wetly <br />before me. <br /> <br />And wonder, <br />with fluttering heart, <br />what I’ll find <br />today <br />when I peep around your door?<br /><br />Alison Cassidy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/jerry-s-journey-held-up-on-the-tourist-road/
