A Facebook friend lost an ex-uncle in life’s battle recently, Len Buckeridge.
He was a tall poppy in this ‘small’ town where many of his courageous achievements for our capital city and state were judged by bigots.
But he left many a legacy thousands will wonder at and enjoy every day and probably never know who was responsible.

Tall Tree Tanka
Unfortunately
too many enjoy trying
to fell tall trees
when they should be hugged.
We need to learn to look up.
