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)

Trembling rhythms of summer
Secretive shadows

I love the way the ripples on the sand reflect the ripples on the water.

An audio haiku! This one can be seen and heard. Love it.

The sand does seem to move and vibrate all on its on. Lovely haiku. I wish I could have heard you read your work but my sound is broken. I am sure it was lovely just as your words.

Nice haiku, Gemma. Yes, what is going on in the shadows? Makes one wonder.
Your nice picture does that too, the shadowy area is dismal.

Just the slightest footstep can cause the sand to tremble. Lovely haiku that makes me long for summer days on the beach.

You have painted an interesting picture with this haiku. I am wondering what is going on in those shadows. Nothing sinsiter I hope. I like to think romance.
