Lost and Found

$3.00

An Outback poem of bush-trackers searching for a lost lad.

Lost and Found : 8 stanzas each of 4 lines about the search for a lost youth in the Outback.

The riders traced the set of tracks
Beneath the sun’s bright glare
And nodded as their leader said
“He won’t survive out there”.

For two days they’d been tracking him,
Two days of blazing heat.
Just stopping when it got too dark
Or when they had to eat.
