A poem about our Dingoes
A MUCH MALIGNED ICON To have a holiday with a difference, venture up the East Coast experience the sight of pure Dingoes of which Fraser Island boasts brought to Australia by seafaring folk, here they ran rampant it is thought they are descendants of wolves from an Asian land Although wild, very curious, nose twitching, sampling new scents a series of howls, desolate, piercing, silence of awakening day rents a song of very old Australia past, a wierd and yet romantic sound evoking the magic of the Dreamtime, refrain unusual, does one haunt These creatures were believed capable of seeing into supernatural warning of approach of eveil Spirits, by changing tone, lenght of call neither mean-spirited, nor cowards, really in their element at night no matter what weather, hot, cold, wet, dry, regardless of any light Keen sense of smell, hearing, combined with extraordinary vision very patient, seldom missing their prey when on a hunting expedition triangular ears erect, always a solitairy hunter, never in a pack like a dark shadow, silently in even moonless night, their quarry track The Dingo is regarded as an embodiment of all that is wild and free the Dingo, part of our Heritage, history, to loose them would be a pity no animal, on our folklore and myth has made a greater impact reviled, persecuted, companiable, kind, symbol of wilderness, all that. copyright casvanloon |
