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)

Mailboxes in the Wild


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ Mailboxes at Arthurs Seat, Mornington Peninsula

Mailbox Monday prompt #4

Mini fabricated birds nests
Lined up
Like regimented
Road spies
~
But rural mailboxes
Quietly refuse
To wear
Any regimental uniform

Interesting post. Ours are all in a huge box/panel, together with the water and electricity meters.

Gemma,

Reading this brings me to the thought that it is ok to be different, to wear the colors we want to wear, to speak the language of our hearts, to exhale our soul in everything we do, because that is the only way we would make a difference. That is the only way we would be distinguished and leave a mark in this world where everyone are seem so crazy to conform and be accepted.

I wish you well.

Soon will be time for our postal sentinels to be weary as snow plows easily clip boxes at their root. I've had two sheared as snow piled in their path...yuck...winter!!!
