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)

Gemma,

I think there wouldn't ever any place, any site, or anything, or any piece of life that would not be poetry for you. I'm amazed with your wit always finding the right words, the right line like an alchemist transforming one ordinary thing into a precious gem of poetry, of photograph.

The beauty of your works is its immediacy, like taking your reader's attention into something and saying what's to be seen in a certain moment way before the readers realize what they are actually seeing.

You always offer beauty to be the top most option to see in anything with the beautiful words you infuse in every fleeting moments you capture by words and photography.

If I show you a picture of an abandoned wasted shoes, I believe you can always write a happy ending in the most minimalist manner and style that you have
mastered.

I wish you well.

A sign that minimalist with a large ruby rose on it - I would be intrigued enough to enter that abode. Style endures inside, undoubtedly, with that great sign outside!

I suppose there are a lot "rubies" in this hotel? ;p

Hi Gemma, you did good with your haiku. I played a little, I think you can't use 'Rose GPO Hotel' in one line. I did want to say there aren't any GPO Hotels in the USA. :-)
Happy RT, I'm at the LITTLE PHOTO AND POEM PLACE today.
