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)

Slime


Succinctly Yours ~ Week 9
Use the photo as inspiration for a story of 140 characters OR 140 words.

Word Of The Week: kink
~

You think you lock me in a sweet romance of flowers.
But the kink in your pantomime spell is your stale breath
syruped with slimey words.

He does appear to be foppish and manipulative, but she sees right through his facade. Excellent!
