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)

In a greying world
Where demands outweigh pleasures
Rainbows mean romance

Very interesting idea! Great observation! Was there something colorful on the window - or was it just glass causing it. It sure brings color to the classroom!

Your poem is lovely. It is the little treasures that fill our hearts. The photo is wonderful too.

Wonderful! In my eyes, any doorway that leads into a room where art happens should have rainbows...

Gemma, I do like (NOT in reality) your greying world description. I like not to think of this unpleasant unbalance.
