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)

Rainbow Dreaming

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Rainbow collage
~
Sunday Scribblings prompt ~ Chance Encounter
~
It was the last minute
Panic ~
Rumbling and rummaging
Grinding and grumbling ~
The typical
End of school term
Mumblings ~
Trying to tidy
Old worlds
And think
A little ahead to
New ones ~
When the sky
Suddenly
Darkened ~
The air
Bristled with
Storm
~
Suddenly ~
Priorities
Unexpectedly
Re-arranged ~
For outside
Gleamed
A chance encounter
~
Rainbow dreaming

I love that the chance encounter was a rainbow, and that time was taken to recognize it's beauty.

"Beautiful just" - I found myself thinking of this title by author Lillian Beckwith, who wrote the little Scottish books.

That tree in the mist was gorgeous in contrast to that dreamy rainbow. Your poetry went so perfectly with your collage.

I love the way you arranged the collage, and your poem -- I especially like tidying the old world making way for the new -- isn't that what the started the first rainbow?
