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)

It is never too late...

Carry on Tuesday #55 ~ This week our prompt is a quote from the author Tom Robbins:
It is never too late to have a happy childhood...

Haiku Bones #25 ~ Miracle

Waves return
Like echoes

Waves cycle
Like seasons

Waves are repetitive rhythms
Like refrains in a song

Waves never judge
Like the faithful spirit of a dog
Always there
Always just giving time
Just giving

Waves are like the fanciful questions and answers of childhood
Echoing
Cycling
A refrain
Always just giving
To those who wish to enjoy
Through the eyes of a child

It is never too late
To enjoy the spirit of waves
To experience
A glimpse of
Childhood wonder
Childhood happiness
To be
A child
For a little while
~
HAIKU POSTSCRIPT
Wild surf of childhood
Lingering currents of time
Miracle moments

Penultimate Aphrodisiac


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Surf at Gunnamatta, Westernport Bay, Mornington Peninsula
~
Big Tent Poetry Ring #1 Weekly Prompts ~ Aphrodisiac
~

I knew it was different
I knew the air tingled with
Alternative light
Loud silence

I knew that the Mayans
Spellbind
The Seekers to
Some
Antibiotic
Transitory
Maybe terminal moment

Could it be now

I am by the sea
Waves are frozen in
A stranglehold
Surfline
Like a still
From a film
Not yet edited
Not yet publicised

My safety senses warn
I should not be here

But my rebellious adrenalin
My aphrodisiac
Pulses to the beat of
Yearning
Desperate
Craving
Curiosity
