AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Inversion - in response to "Changed" prompt - Writer's Island


Stirring the clouds beneath my feet ~
Letting the mind sail in the drummings of caves
~
Eying the molten heat simmering in a rain shower ~
Letting the wings fold like a hopeless umbrella
~
Feeling the feast of chaos buried in a magic carpet ~
Letting the amplifiers break the chains of sound
~
Knowing the Mayan calendar could just be a hoax ~
Letting the moment
Tomorrow
Freefall
Into yesterday ~
When leeches had a medieval,
Medical,
Scientific right
To suck blood

OK, this is it, I will never attempt to write poetry again. I apologize now for my feeble attempt. This is beautiful!
