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)

Relic

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Unusual tree in Arthurs Seat National Park, Mornington Peninsula

Totally Optional Prompts ~ Lost Stuff

The weekend began with
Rain
Rain and
More rain ~
It seemed Nature wanted
To break the monotony of
Winter chills with
Waterfalls
~
But on Sunday
Nature tired of playing
Rain games and
Sunlight ~
Glittering sunlight ~
Gleamed
Radiantly on
Pools
Puddles
Tears of
Mirrored waters
~
And a walk in the damp worlds of
Arthurs Seat National Park revealed
A strange sight
~
The wet woods of
What was once
A living
Breathing
Growing
Tree
Loomed like
A dark
Thomas Moore
Hollowed
Sculpture
~

Lost old stuff
Lost in the leaves of
Living new pages
~
Lost relic
Haunting silhouette
Ominous spirit
