Where The Action Is



Viewed to the west from the top of Mt Lofty
(about 10 km east of the CBD and 20 from the sea) ,
long, thin, flat Adelaide is 'Suburbia'
with 2 'islands' - Airport and CBD.

Airport, aka ADL,
is between CBD and the sea;
closer to the latter
but not far from either.

All the west
of all of Suburbia you see
is lined by sea.

There are not many high-rises
by the edge of the sea -
the swimming season must be short.

The action must be in the CBD.

Ps: It's long and thin,
so easy to get out of;
so in Out Of too might there action be.

I am not sure which Adelaide this is? What is the action there? Penguins are in the picture but not the poem? Might have to google it.

The swimming season should be short and reason should be found. You have viewed an amazing scene and it is definitely an interesting poem. A brilliant poem is well pened..5 stars..
