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)

All I remember is how I forgot...

Two for Tuesdays prompt ~ Heather said ~ I saw this line over at Kary’s Blog, and I can’t get it out of my head. I would LOVE to see what you guys do with it as a starting line! ...All I remember is how I forgot...

All I remember is how I forgot to buy a newspaper...
I wanted the latest headlines
In the latest newspaper
As a keepsake of a moment
Frozen in Camden time ~
But all I remember is reaching for
A clown doll
To take with me
To what would be
Tragedy
In the paradise of
Tasmania
