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)

We run our cross country here - hence the waiting markers!

Bulbous white cocoons
Hung from invisible boughs
Whispers of cool rain

What is the significance of the haiku ? Silk? Or the clouds themselves?
