Precious earth metal
Happiness locked in a reef
Gold bars imprison
~
Precious earth flowers
Free to grow and be adored
Sunbursts on Spring trees

In a golden place
Light grows in beams of magic
Hope and smiles on wings
~
Gold banks or gold dreams
Stagnant greed or Nature's child
Gold locks or gold keys

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)

Hi Gemma, thank you for the nice prompt. I had fun with it.
Gold to me is precious and pure. Your poem reminds me of this without you saying it with those words. Thank you.
..
You've given the ultimate importance to nature there.
Your poems raise questions about beauty and freedom that will keep me thinking, Gemma. Nature's gifts are the greatest treasures, to be sure.
The beauty and bounty of nature are truly our greatest treasures!
'gold locks & gold keys' speaks to me about wise use of nature's bounty & life in general.
thanks for the gorgeous photos of my home country, a place i long to see one day. my mother left tasmania as a child & i know my grandmother speaks so fondly of her home. my uncle still lives outside of hobart. one day... :-)
Thanks for a wonderful prompt! This is definately as Sandy said above, a thinking piece!
I really like the contrast/connection between gold locks and gold keys!
Beautiful photos and some sage observations!
Each haiku is wonderful and philosophical..
Gemma--

I tried to leave a comment last night, but wordpress must have had other ideas. Hope this works today.
Beautiful poem photos. I had never heard of wattle, had to look it up.
Great prmpt,Gemma.
Thanks for the prompt, Gemma.
Love the plant in the first picture, I wonder if this might not be a form of mimosa.
The prompt was pure brilliance. Your poetry is wonderful. Thanks for both.
I stumbled upon OSI and I thought I'd join in. Great prompt for our fall and your spring.
You have done a beautiful job with your poetry prompt.
