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)

If only
Memories ringing
Draughty shed
Leather scents
If only my grandfather
Could reach for the phone

Earth Day Sky Watch



Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ It seems ironic that we should be caretakers for Mother Nature, yet there are developments like this one emerging on reclaimed swampland.
Here is a view of Martha Cove, Mornington Peninsula

Her artwork
Her daily routine
Her seasons
We're her seeds
She calls for understanding
Our Mother Nature

When dreams melt
Purge realities
Toss them high
Knead them well
Bake golden in warm ovens
Cleanse the hungry soul

1. The zero
That single second
Contains far
Paradise
When past and future scams burn
Frozen party trick

2. The zero
The scream that is mine
Coffee space
Lacks a soul
My empty drowning highway
My pen to glory
