Clouds
Sir Daryl Lindsay, 'Landscape Myrniong', NGV The Joseph Brown Collection
photograph by Isabel
Lovely on two counts, Isabel, both the painting and the words. It's funny how landscape can evoke such images, as a moustache and curved lips, as if the land becomes a face.

Perfectly parsed and pursed!
I like it very much.
You've conjured a wonderful word image to complement the landscape. I like the idea of 'lips pursed to kiss the land.'
Clouds are painters of magic...
There's nothing sweeter than a cloud kiss... except someone attentive enough to notice (like you).
Very lovely. "a moustache hovering over an empty hill". Way cool.
Brilliant- loved the ending especially.
Hi I am here at last!
What a lovely idea "a cloud kissing the land."
I like this brief but lovely poem.
Oh Isabel, this is exquisite!
