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)

Mailboxes from Dromana

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A variety of domestic mailboxes from Dromana, Mornington Peninsula, Australia

Mailbox Monday prompt

Designer labels and
Recycled afterthoughts ~
Like new love and
Love after some hefty divorce
~
Mailboxes are in an art class
All their own
~

Of course
The official mailboxes
Are locked into formal stamina
That somehow can only be defined as
Practical necessity

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Dromana mailbox ~ This is outside a small group of units, not far from Dromana beach. The buildings have a nautical flavour. I guess this 'mailbox' is meant to continue the nautical theme.
~
But then there are others
Inventing a whole new art form ~
Where the term mail box
Somehow
Seems a little like a misnomer ~
Mail post maybe?
Ummm
But that's tautology ~
If all else fails
At least these mail rebels offer
Some smiling time
~
For indeed
Some are so much like...???

Such variety - who would have thought. Expressions of individualism perhaps.
