Magpie Tales ~ Mag 24

Dawn light breaking in a room should be the birth of waking joy.
But in this room of tossled, discarded sheets, (at such an early hour), there was a sense of hasty, sad retreat from broken, dying dreams.

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)

I want that room! It looks lovely.
Short, pointed, and sad. Great Magpie, in few words. Love it.
Your interpretation is spot on ... it does look like there was a hasty retreat! Nice writing.
I can feel this in these few words.
Lovely, and so very powerful.
I loved the final words

the mailbox above isn't ugly at all just somewhat plain. and, i'd love to know if the 'no junk mail' sign worked as i hate getting junk mail.
A wonderful and thought provoking poem. Thank you for sharing.

hasty, sad retreat from broken, dying dreams
Lovely lovely lovely - just how I saw it too...
Poignant. Well done!
hasty retreat
yes, I can see that now
you made it sound so empty
and haunting....as is love sometimes
Not always a good thing to have hurried from a dream. Excellent imagery.
Hmmm...you and I had a lot in common in our posts this week.
A dream you don't want to wake from at all.
