As I drove from Auckland to Whangarei, the beauty of the land caught my attention so naturally I had to take pictures and pen this poem in Free Verse.  Please enjoy.

The scenery
of the Aotearoa landscape
on the road to Whangarei
is breathtakingly beautiful;

From north to south,
east and the west,
on all sides the traffic flows;
in an on ending line
both fast and slow.

The awesomeness
of the rolling hills,
the trees and fauna
of every shape and kind
burst with dazzling beauty,
from the exhilarating rays of the sun;

They spread their glow of splendour,
like the neon lights
beaming across the Auckland Harbour;

Everywhere through searching eyes,
are flower-strewn meadows,
and babbling brooks and streams,
that lap up the springtime air;

While beneath the trees
and in the fields,
golden daffodils stand
with their trumpets,
lifted proudly towards the winds;

They herald in the musical sounds
of the forested land;

Now high above
in the azure sky
whipped cream images
with unique designs
gently float on by.

And at the mountain base,
sheep and lambs do graze
and frolic with a stately prance.

Such simple  pleasures
are found 
in Aotearoa

Land of the Long White Cloud...
