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)

Butterfly Cinquain on Kites

Dodge Writes ~ Today's Prompt ~ Butterfly Cinquain
~

Grounded
Fanciful wings
Limping on wind-strummed threads
Connected mirrors of blue dreams
New kites
Like a watercolour jarlsburg
Flighty cameo space
Like fresh lanterns
Dali

rabi Khan's contribution to St Martin's Island - upcoming kite festival


Bangladesh owns 6 islands. One, St Martin's Island, is a coral island in the Bay of Bengal. Rabi Khan's latest project is a logo for an upcoming kite festival there - "Fly the kite within you" (mentioned in his HubPages posting, "Do you see what I see".) What a gorgeous idea! (It appears the kite festival is celebrated ~ 10-17 February ~ just before Independence Day !! A comment on this pic from the 2007 festival is recorded by a Finnish blogger - Gagan, originally from Bangladesh. ~ More kite pics! )

~~~~~~~~~~~
On the 26th March 2008 will be Bangladesh's 37th birthday (1971).
~~~~~~~~~~
~Fly the kite within you
Feel the colours fly
Perhaps
Watch an old cord
Slip into the sky~
