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)

Pungent, Sour Words


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Farmers often burn mixed rubbish in the late Autumn months, Red Hill, Mornington Peninsula.
Often, the area becomes laden with a pungent melee of scents that seem to linger in the smokey air long after the fire has burnt.

3WW #CXCVI ~ acrid + bane + tepid

Acrid, lemon words
Cruel bane of dignity
No tepid healing

I like the image of tepid healing, and the idea of its opposite.

Tepid... I especially loved your way with that word...

The caption to the pic surprises me. I guess there are rules about what can be burnt and what can't?
