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)

Fisherman


Collage by Gemma Wiseman ~ A rainy misty Spring morning in the Dromana Hills, Mornington Peninsula can be a photo opportunity - even without sunlight!
The featured kookaburras belong to the kingfisher family.

Writer's Island 2010 ~ Prompt #21 ~ Fisherman

On misty wet days
I feel like a fisherman
Angling for sunlight

Within the grey gloom
Life's colours and shapes live on
Cloaked in mystery

Magic mystery
Fisherman discovers light
In fresh new waters

Cannibalistic Waters

Somehow, hordes of wild mouthed waves cavorting to shore are like some crazy reapers, threshing around for choice bruises in the harvest; gathering and dragging them out to oceanic chaos. It’s wise for guilty souls to stay just out of reach on the sands. Fishing is a good way to spend ugly thoughts, ugly memories.
