The poet aged 3 months

About the poet: Terry is a multi-cultural poet weaving fibs around fronds. Celt, Aboriginal and Scando with undertones of the journeymen. Tempered by hot irons. Unfortunately, also a Toby.

Filtering thoughts can be therapeutic. Normality shies when skies, darken. Coming to grips with wisdom, transcends. Times change. So do people. Sometimes for the better. Being Mindfull is paramount. Keeping frantic cooled.

Terry's insights are drawn from life, Country, people and international travel. He has driven over 2,000,000 klms around and across Australia, visited 75 countries across the world on all continents (except Antartica - as he is prone to sea sickness). Invariably, he will strike up a conversation with someone he encounters, teasing from them oft startling confessions.
