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)

My Autumn Avatar


Collage by Gemma Wiseman ~ If I created an Autumn avatar!

One Single Impression #109 ~ Avatar

In terms of seasons
I am an Autumn spirit
Mellow airs and shades
~
Come close to my soul
Notice the reaching branches
Noticed coloured walls
~
Shrink to avatar
Shadowy trellis rising
White whispers drift on

P.S. In response to Gautami Tripathy: Avatars seem to be like fractured personalities, almost caricatures, masks available for dressing and undressing!

Dear Gemma--
What a beautiful avatar you made!
I'm a little jealous!

Thank you too for the beautiful haiku.

Your comments on each of the poets posted by the Virtual Tea House bloggers on the prompt were so appreciated! Thanks for taking the time--your insight is always spot-on.

I love the autumn--it is my favorite season...with spring close behind!

Oh, this is lovely. For a moment, I almost fell in love with autumn and I'm a dyed-in-the-wool summer spirit. A beautiful, charming and wistful avatar!

Spirit and soul unit. Avatar tells the story as a whisper on the wind. We are who we are, yet can becoming much more if we wish.
