Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Deep darkness over Dromana, Mornington Peninsula
This was a night without stars.
Only the lights of Dromana and Safety Beach were really visible, curving around the Port Phillip Bay.
I liked the mystery of light and odd tones of colour in the barely visible clouds.
It was as if all known reality was saturated with night's darkness.

Some worlds gush with darkness
For a little while

Formless maybe tones
Saturate a blank sky
Night eyes are prowling
Cautious need bearings
Identify known icons
Parachute safety
Children deviate
Curiosity flying
Never ends for some

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)

It's difficult to see something because of your black background, at least my screen doesn't show your picture very well.
very nice poem.
Very nice use of the words.
I keep a notebook next to me in the truck to write down interesting words and phases I think of or hear on the radio while I'm driving...I HAVE NOTES EVERYWHERE... but I love to use them in the thoughts I write. This evening sky is wonderful and your blue skies are to die for...the birds the landscape...you are truly is a beautiful country Gemma, so exotic!
I would love to walk those shores, peering into caves and watch the wild surf roll the flotsam into shore...and NO SNOW!!!
Love your new picture my little friend...big hugs from America!!!

PS...yes the chicken coop will be pink...what a hoot!
I really like this photo - somehow very comforting.
I could see the photo better when I clicked on it to enlarge it. It is beautiful, but I'm sure being there would have been better.
Great use of the words - especially 'saturate'. Love that photo!
This made me smile. "Curiosity flying / never ends for some." May it never end. :) And I also loved "formless maybe tones" -- so evocative.
Curiousity - one of the finer traits of mankind! Nice post!
I loved the line "formless maybe tones"
loved the children' curiosity part....thats where lies the golden moments of one's life
Loved how you did it!
waves of oceans in my glass
Nice...specially the last stanza..
Great haikus, I enjoyed the "Children deviate..." piece the most. Curiosity certainly doesn't end for some, a shame it ends for others.
love the tone of yr kuz... it is best never to grow up... funny i kept lookin thinkin there was no foto at first.. there is indeed much light in what appears to be darkness... repairable repartee
