-beautiful poem-portrait of the Australian Echidna -
THE ANTEATER
- by Peter Gebhardt, Geelong, VIC
Suddenly the soft soil erupts
A nib pushed through
And then a thousands quills
Poised to leave their marks.
It is the nib which fills itself
With the scuttling ants;
The quills that make their points
With the inquisitive invader.
