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)

The pace of this poem drives home its meaning! How fast moves this fiction we create and title "Life."\
Writing in Faith: Poems
I love what you have captured here with your poem and photo.
These blooms burst open for mere seconds, but leave us with celebrated hearts. A wonderful case in point for 'less is more'.
ok , aussie girl... what on earth is a corroboree... off to google i go........
I really like the direction you went with this prompt. "fast forward living..." That says so much.
I love the photo and the poem. I had to look up corroboree but the language of the whole poem conveyed the message even without that. Absolutely wonderful.
What a gorgeous photo! Thanks for all the incredible visuals on your blog.
"From birth to bloom to dying" puts things in perspective.
Spectacular ‘fireworks’ image and wonderful words in this cleverly constructed ‘combination’ post!
Hugs and blessings,
