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)

Glad you worked the Wordle! I didn't expect a haiku, but it is lovely.

(I deleted one comment & pulled you out of the spam filter. Remember that posting lots of comments, until one has been "approved" only makes the spam filter think you really are a spammer!)

I saw the wordle itself on ricepaper and in the crumpling the many poems emerging with their divergent wisdoms converging.

For a moment.

Wonderful haiku! Especially coming near the end of reading so many amazing tapestries weaving the wordles.

Thank you...

A haiku! How brave of you! I've visited your site many times, but I could never figure out where to leave a comment. I had a "salient" moment this morning and managed to accomplish what was a failure previously. Bravo to you!

The audacity;
facing the ocean like that!
How intense, how brave.

Woohoo! I'm accustomed to your glorious haiku but surely didn't expect to find one here - after all, a Wordle? Grinning. Superb job!!
