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)

Drop of Gold


Collage by Gemma Wiseman ~ Shadowy scenes at Red Hill, Mornington Peninsula plus Floating Blossom by Lapstrake
~
Weekend Wordsmith prompt #74 ~ Floating
~

Tiny pot of gold
Embossing teary landscapes
Life raft in a storm
~
Long floating shadows
Grey worlds may seem desolate
A drop of gold waits

the collage of photos is as beautiful as the words in the poetry.

the tiny pot of gold, lies as a small beacon of hope amidst the grey desolate world... floating.
