AUSTRALIAN POETRY AS SEEN BY JOHN D FARLEY, AKA; JOHNFARLS, JOHNFARLSBRUNZ, BOOFHEAD, RICHARD CRANIUM, THE WOG, SCHOONERS, SNOZZE. I dont suppose many poets will tell you how to read their poetry, well handle it folks, 'cause I'm about to sing you a song son. (Jerry Reed, "Good Lord Mr Ford", best picker who ever lived). Coupla' things; It's a monotone, but it's got inflections, it's got stuff you read once and then some, and then some more. It takes special people to recite AUSTRALIAN POETRY, and I aeint one. You need special people to deliver the words, like actors. You may not see the "big picture" FROM the writers eye, AND THEIR INNER THOUGHTS. My crappy brain evolved rhymming stuff from real life experiences. I will suffer this for ever, the WWW will see to that. GOOGLE has seen fit to make millions of referances to my pisspoor attempts at all things john d farley. Am I famous? Negitive, and love it. However, if some of my analogies and propinquities ring a bell, then ding dong, it sticks. How do you read my poems? It's the story, it's real, it happened to this old fart, embellisments aside. TAKE YOUR TIME, forget my grammer, excuse the 'spoken word', some woefull attempts at rhymming, read the full story of an ordinary person of the earth, THEN COMPARE IT TO YOURS. Am I any better than you? Notice the two photos, both are holding BIRDS. FINALLY; FORGET ALL YOU JUST  CONTEMPLATED, "YOU READ IT LIKE YOU WANT TOO", love ya john farley.
