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)

Mythical Blues

Pic by lxzpartwork Aphrodite from Photobucket
~
Surreal innocence
Limpid dreams of innocence
Deathly innocence
Like sweet blue melancholy
Like flying on dolphin wings
~
Like frozen delight
Like drifting on mirror moons
Like floating beauty
Lonely music of waters
Mythical streams of lovers

Gemma, this is really nice. I believe you captured the undertone of quietness/ solitude in this artwork and put it quiet innocently at the forefront of the page. Thanks for sharing. Have a nice day.

I agree with Paisley, the last two lines were hypnotic and completley aphrodite! What a great read and beautiful poem, thanks for sharing it! :-)
