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)

Silent Gold Music


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ One of several butterflies that seemed to wander round me as I walked a track at Red Hill, Mornington Peninsula - last Sunday.

Dainty and fragile
Dusky gold wings tantalise
Like haunting music

I seem to see plenty of these fragile things drifting up to my 11th floor office tower. You describe them beautifully.

I can't wait for the butterflies to return in the spring. I love the pop of color on the butterfly with the neutral background.

Rinkly Rimes said...

These words definitely called for a 'fragile' subject matter and you certainly found it with your lovely shot enhancing your poem.
