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)

creams and shady paints I love that line. It compliments the rest of your poem. And, I like how you used fleshplumes as signs of aging. Strong haiku. Have a nice day.
I've never heard the term fleshplumes -- just googled it and I now I think I understand --- fleshplumes = sunburns. That makes perfect sense now. I fleshplume an Australian term?
It is a great haiku. Love it and the picture. :)
I also love the third line. Very visual and full of imagery, even if we do have the beautiful picture there (and I'm glad it is there -- it's gorgeous!).
