Hiatus

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Sculpture by William Ricketts at Seawinds, Arthurs Seat, Mornington Peninsula
~
3WW prompt #CII ~ awry + blame + hiatus
~

The spirits of a great
Australian sculptor are
Crumbling
Slipping
Slowly from
Their bed in
A rock wall ~
It is as if
Now
Is simply
A brief hiatus
Between
What was and
What will surely be
~
Perhaps
Being open to
The wild elements
On a mountain
High above the sea
Spins
Human efforts
Awry and
Art becomes
Nature's art
~
Who is to blame?
Careless weather or
Careless humanity?

Rise or Fall

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Stairway to the sea at Point Leo
~
Simply Snickers prompt ~ stair + step + start + stop
~

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Stairway to the sea at Mornington
~

A stair is a fabricated
Rise or fall into
A new level of
Space
~
Many stairs are like a
Subconscious
Temptation to
Step
Down or
Up into
A new frontier ~
To explore
A sense of wonder
A sense of curiosity
~
But sometimes
There are stairs
Masquerading as
Possibilities ~
A false
Start
A disappointing
Cue ~
Those stairs which may once have led
Somewhere
But now
Stop
Halfway
~
Maybe
A broken landscape
~
Maybe
An aloof treasure
A little out of reach
~

Rumours say that the new owner may have it operating again this summer.
Rumours said the same thing last summer.

Glass is a plain pane
Realities co-exist
Magical stargate

Lipstick

Poefusion Tuesday Title prompt ~ Lipstick God
~

The Lipstick God
Paints the pale mouth
Shaping the stage of words
~
But can the Lipstick God
Paint the deserts
Paint the oceans
Paint the skies
Shape the harmonies and
Feel
Reflect
The colours of the wind
Alone?

Dromana Hub Shopping Centre is sporting a new coat of paint. Gone are the sea blues and sand yellows. Now there are two ruby entrances and a few colour contrasts on other arches and segments of the building. But ruby is the dominant colour!
