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)

Surreal Worlds ~ for Totally Optional Prompts





Surreal by Rogervd on Deviant Art

In my mind

Sharing an exotic

Hawaiian cocktail

Symbolises

An endless ocean of bliss

~

In my mind

Dreaming on an endless ocean

Means touching worlds

Kissed by endless rainbows

~

In my mind

White purling skies

Refract blue light

Glowing

Peacefully

~

In my mind

A touch of wings

Is just my soul

Flying

Surreal eternity

I like the lightness of this poem. It's almost like I could fly along with your words!

"White purling skies..." to use the language this expertly raises your work to another level beyond simple contemplation. The word "purl" reflects eddies, swirls, even soft murmurring sounds, perhaps knit by angels! And its homophonic is "pearl!" Beautiful imagery!
Wonderful word wizardry!
