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)

Great haiku - especially the last line.

Julie Jordan Scott said...

I'm with Leo and Tony, while the entirety is wonderful, the final line and the use of "shard" are particularly magnificent.

And the weary receive rest and revival. I like it.

That's where I'd like to be right about now... leaning on the rail looking out at the water.

I once heard the Mornington Peninsula described as the best place on earth to live! I'm sure you agree!

Love "world weary spirits" - nice haiku!

Deep haiku, great use of the prompt words. Thanks for sharing a glimpse into Dromana as well! I am another one of the readers that lives in an area crawling out of winter all too slowly... it was nice to see somewhere warm!
