Hi Chrissy, a good, patriotic poem for Australia Day. Good aabb rhyme maintained throughout. Well displayed in the flag colours. A good read. I watched a really good film the other night 'The Water Diviner' - have you seen it? A moving story about Aussies and the battle of Gallipoli. Worth a watch. Warm regards Dorothy xx

I work in retail and I love it when people come in from different parts of the world. It's fun to talk to them. You did a great job with this and we certainly know how much you love where you live. I went to the Nashville zoo last September and got to pet a kangaroo. It was very soft and amazing.

Thank you for sharing your celebration of Australia Day and the striking presentation with colorful text. I enjoyed your rhymed couplets in these rhythmic quatrains. I have always found Australians as warmhearted and friendly as you describe. Cheers mate- Joan

Every day I thank God that I was born in America. It's the greatest country on earth, but my second choice would be Australia. I only know it from what I see on television and the Australian members on FanStory, but that's enough.

Such an appropriate poem for Australia Day, Christine, with its echoes of the National Anthem lightly sprinkled throughout. I hope you had a good one!

I like the presentation of your poem. The artwork and background colors jump out at you. Your poem flows and rhymes well and I like your message. You are a proud citizen of Aussie and you celebrate it well in your poem. Happy belated Australia Day. You used good alliteration of s, p, and c, letters and, sounds. Best wishes!
