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)

At first your lines made me think of trojan computer viruses! Thoughts that come in my night often lead to poems, so I generally encourage them!

THe art is extraordinary and the poem carries a real punch. I remember as a child being fascinated with the Trojan horse image and terrified. Your poem brought that fear back, and that is how some night thoughts feel. Powerful and well constructed poem.

I love me some Austrailian wit. Your verse could be read a couple of different ways; regardless, I liked them all! Great mind.
