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)

Where the tallest of tall ships drift...

Where the tall ships drift
Canyons of heavenly ocean
Erase earthly dust
~
Tiers softly billow
Wafting breezes of light
Stifle traumatic questions
Numb euphoria
~
Just a filament of eternity
Cataclysmic
Click

I love your interpretation of these words. I came over here expecting to see ships in your pictures and was pleasantly surprised with these clouds instead. Your poem works well as a whole but those first two haiku, my favorite. Thanks for giving the prompt a try. I hope to still see you drop by/ comment from time to time. My door is always open. Have a great weekend.
