Elizabeth was still our Queen.
George was still the President.
John was our Prime Minister.
Phillip was the new Archbishop.
The land was in drought.
The Nation was at war with Iraq.
McNaught’s Comet hung
huge in the southern sky.

They say that in a perfect world, at the age of fifty you would know half as much as you thought you did at seventeen. Epiphanist is a collection of creative and original work about fifty odd years of leaps of understanding. The concepts might be too difficult, just ask any question or look at the pictures.
Rules for a double dactyl are -
two four line stanzas,
last lines of each stanza must rhyme.
All lines are double dactyl rhythm
except for the last lines which are
dactyl plus one = four syllables.
First line is usually a jingle,
typically “higgledy piggledy”,
second line is the subject,
usually a name.
The second stanza must contain
a word of six syllables.

This was the brightest comet in this part of the world for over forty years. Erin McNaught was Miss Australia!
