The Bramble Cay Melomys Poem by Keith Shorrocks Johnson

The Bramble Cay Melomys



Drat we missed and now we miss
The Bramble Cay melomys:
A mouse-like rodent on a cay
First washed up then washed away
It's kicked a clod - like us one day.

Any loss like this diminishes me
When a tiny creature's lost at sea
It's the first but not the final one
And I'm the lesser that it's gone
When all is said and Donne.
