A change of pace.
Here is a poem I wrote when we returned to Australia after living in New Zealand.
I saw the Australian landscape with new eyes.
brown rusty paddocks
lines of red steel
contour the ground
gold dusty stubble
trees latch onto
the old dry land
cows graze on rubble
a jagged river
hacks time into the earth.

ReplyDeleteyou write such beautiful poems. i can feel australia landscape literally!
hug you!
Beautiful, vivid, emotional imagery!
ReplyDeleteI love the trees being "latched" to the earth! Can almost imagine some of them floating off into the sky if the latch were released ...maybe many of them already have and that is why paddocks often only have 1 or 2 left!
ReplyDeleteFabulous and evocative :0)
