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)

Frozen Spring morning
Fledgling awakening
Fractured, tired country lane
Faded flivver of old
Frowsy homes struggle life
Fricative hushed voices
Flowers still arch and farl

Gallant sails from yesterdays
Grey feelings of lost moments ~
Gripping sighs seep in todays
Gashing smiles with some sadness ~
Glimmering shadows to come
Gleaning pale fickle fortunes ~
Glorious sky galleons

National Poetry Month Day 2 ~ Poetic Pieces of Life ~ Winds

Pic by x-horizon on Deviant Art ~ With the Wind
~
Wild grey winds open morning
Winter scrambles in autumn
Worried trees bow in numbness
Wimpy petals in lost flight
Windows mist in early chill
Whining for lost summer days
Windchimes for some far lost fires

Poetic Pieces of Life ~ Teaspoon

Pic by easytigrr on Deviant Art ~ Splash on a Teaspoon
~
Talking point of coffee cups
Teasing dip in sugared realms
Tender ease in luxury
Tumbling grains in water worlds
Tantalising tight spirals
Titillating soul stirrer
Token of tiny chaos
