  5. Such arid scenery often evoke feelings of both beauty and sadness. I get a feeling of calm timelessness when visiting such locations in Australia.

  9. Really like your economic use for this poem about a place considered by some to be barren or even unwelcoming. I think your brevity underlines the reality that there is life here, but one has to take the time to look or might miss it. A closer look is often rewarded.
