Rare Bits on Rabbits in Weather and Food Quips

A playful collection of questions and answers about rabbits. It ponders why rabbits are caught more in dry weather and links fur or diet to farming. The piece uses punny reasoning about rabbits, weather, traps, and baking themes in a light humorous tone.

Fishermen on the Queenscliff Sea Braving Storms at Sea

A venturer voice honors Queenscliff fishermen who brave blinding sleet high waves and deafening thunder as they toil at sea. The piece reflects on warmth at home and prays for God’s blessing on those in danger on the water.

The Trumpet Haunts A Foreshadowed Nation

A poem about looming war and national upheaval. It portrays banners, bells, and a crying earth as sons go to battle. The speaker reflects on the bard, the falchion, and a world stirred by fear, asking how kingdoms will hear the coming blast.

Dove on Lily Lifts Childrens Prayers to Heaven

A verse-poem depicts a white dove listening to children’s prayers. The dove rests on a lily spray and carries the children’s pious words to heaven, returning with blessings from the Father in heaven for each whispered plea.
