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)

Drift


Boats waiting round a pier at Schnapper Point, Mornington


Boats, dreams, memories
Drift on the whims of the tides
Like waiting for chance

Your haiku today is so true to life. I just love it and the picture you took to accompany it is beautiful. The mountains are lovely, but I do miss the water so much. It was such a part of my life growing up. Thanks for sharing today. genie

Your photo could have been taken in my neighborhood (coastal Massachusetts), and your haiku sounds like a good way to live...'go with the flow'....
