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)

A Poetry Offer + Some Amazing New Links


I am quite excited about discovering some new links. In particular, via Cricket's Hearth delightful blog, I found "One World One Heart". That led me to Magpie Girl's Passionate Blog and what a world that opened too. So a comment on each!
As a result of my wanderings in One World One Heart, I would like to offer a poem to anyone who needs one. You may be troubled, sad, lost. You may like a poem for some special celebration or memory. Whatever the need, I offer you a poem written just for you. Leave me a few details, so I may "tune in" to you, and I will write you a special poem. The offer remains open ~ any time!


Cricket's Hearth - Strange, but her posting on my blog says she won't write poetry again after reading my poetry. More strange, her writing, whatever she writes, always sounds beautifully poetic. Check it out! I don't think she can escape poetry! Seriously, her blog is a beautiful wander through a range of feelings and ideas. Her posting on "Holding Hands" is just pure magic! And poetic!

One World One Heart - This is just amazing. To quote: I created this event in 2007. The original idea behind this giveaway event was to bring bloggers together from around the world who may never ordinarily meet. It closes the gap of the blog community and enables us to interact, discover new and wonderful people, and in the process possibly win a prize or many prizes along the way. Last years event had roughly 85-90 participants and many connections were made because of it......friendships that are still going strong a year later.We had a strong showing the first year for sure, and now this year(2008) we have just about tripled.


Passionate Blog - I now want to join this "Small is Beautiful" community. Hopefully, the description of this blog suits the ideas there. Perhaps now is a good time to reflect on just how this blog is evolving. I submitted: Greyscale Territory is that blurry space between visual landscapes and dreamscapes. Poetic wandering is a luxurious sprawl in the world of spiritual and hard knock musings. It is a time to face the raw reality of dreams and hopefully pen some inspirational songlines for anyone to sing. Hopefully, that sums up the inner and outer landscapes here.

Especially love the overall concept of this community, binding the beautiful ideas of other bloggers into one caravanserai on the Bloggers Silk Road. (Stay tuned to small is beautiful Saturdays at www.Magpie-Girl.com for featured passionate bloggers, drawings, and other lovely happenings. Welcome to the neighborhood!) And indeed it is a welcoming place. I would feel honoured to be a part of it.
