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)

Like sequenced shadows
Like diminishing footsteps
Like signs to somewhere

Foiled

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Hastings pier
Weekend Wordsmith prompt ~ It didn't happen
~

I longed to wander the pier
Right out into rippling waves and sea air
But there was lots of wire
Long and spiked
Dividing the official
From the casual
I longed to be free
It didn't happen
~

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Stony Point station, Mornington Peninsula
I longed to capture the train
Sinking
With a sigh into
The end of the line
I waited
I waited
It didn't happen
~

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Pelicans at Hastings
I longed to forget finding
A precious digital moment
Today
And just go home ~
But a surprise pose
From a photogenic pelican
Ensured
It didn't happen
