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)

Chained Fenceline

Pic by Gemma Wiseman - Imaginative Glimpse of Seawinds, Mornington Peninsula
~
3WW Prompt ~ blurred + illegal + match
~
A chained fenceline symbolises a warning
To beware
Dangerous
Unpredictable
Ground ~
It could be illegal
To ignore signs
~
But often
Curiosity may match
Even challenge
Caution
~
Some boil with a sense of
Adventure
Daring
Rebellion ~
Willing the spirit to explore
Any
Blurred
Reality ~
Imagining
Analysing
Confirming
The message of
The colours

Cross-wired

Pic on Flickr by Gemma Wiseman ~ Seawinds 3
~
3WW prompt ~ cautious human maybe
~
It is human nature to be curious ~
To feel some intense longing
To peek over the edge
To see
What it could be like
On the other side ~
But maybe
It is quite fortunate
That some angel
Thought of adding
Some cautious
Cross-wired
Posts and rails

Other Side of the Fence ~ for Easy Street Prompt #29


(Pic from Easy Street Prompts. For more inspiring pics for writing, see the Easy Street Widget on the sidebar!)

Divisions, barriers, boundaries
Are just a few words for a fence
But unlike stoic, crusty walls
Fences have many viewing platforms
~
Many perspectives lurk in tiers
All framed in some tight, organized lines
Wooden or metal parallels
Hold a gallery of tactile frames
~
The other side of a picket fence
Is often a cottage garden
Budding with aromatic herbs
And nostalgic daisies and roses
~
The other side of a wrought iron fence
Is draped with sweeping royal walkways
Neatly clipped geometric hedges
And perhaps a King Charles corgi
~
A fence style is often a lifestyle
Parading a clear dimension
Where another side of the fence
Is another reality
~

Epilogue
I am the other side of your fence
I am landscape you dread to tread
~
I am some wild Serenghetti
Just a dot on some forgotten map
~
You are the silent, yesterday’s fence
You are the endless, lurking tiers
~
You are another murky fence
You are my other reality
~
