Apple Isle Reminisce

Swathes of house strewn hills bathe in after storm sunlight brave
Shocks heavy clouds, knocks gloom away, spotlight locks
Bay's grey sparkle, renewed day brightens, strollers stay
Proud steel bridge carries loud traffic witnessing lifting cloud


Cornelian Bay, revealing lopsided boat sheds remember fish reeling
Domain central space retains natural bush, wildlife remains
Mount Wellington counts months of snow cap, close to town
City called Hobart, unassuming pretty place, subject of this ditty 


Sandy Bay, scenic, handy to City, it's here if anywhere to dress dandy
Battery Point deserves flattery,  colonial cottages, harbour view smattering 
Mona, incredible art loner, architectural wonder, prominent owner 
Views from too many places, water inescapable, fresh blue


Gazania's cheerful mania sprawl on steepest hills of Tasmania 
Devils ravage meat, dishevel opponents, fight decides levels
Top to tail drive pops frequent amazement, close sea stops 
Road journey slowed only by photo moments, memory furrowed
Isle induces many a smile, slow pace invites visitors stay a while.
