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)

You have a wonderful blog... my first visit here and its been quite an experience!
I loved your poem.... you meant so much with so few lines... really effortless and graceful! The concept of "common ground" summed it all up!
Wonderful photo. Both poem and photo cause us to wonder -- who's assimilating whom?
Wonderful.....Nice poem and photo
Gemma--
I really appreciate the openness and hopefulness of this poem, and really smiled at the photo. Those rascals...
Love the thieves for trying.
That is really humanity's only hope, I believe. Thank you for this.
powerful little poem.
Indeed--that we might land.
Such a powerful statement with so few words! I loved seeing the magpies. :~)
I love your use of the black and white magpies to illustrate assimilation.
In one word:
Profound!
stolen from the air
Little did say much
It is not our differences that separate us but our inability/unwillingness to celebrate them. The commonalities are far more common but often overlooked.
A beautifully delicate poem. Love the light and shadow.
powerful...
I loved this! So succinct and powerfully stated~ I also got "lost" in your blog getting to the poem and had a wonderful time looking at everything...you are amazing with all your poems and photos!
Very philosophical.
Enjoyable poem.
