  • on The Four Friends by A.A. Milne, on May 19, 2006

    Amusing

    AA Milne wrote the Winnie the Pooh books. This is a delightful poem which should amuse any child.

  • A favourite poem of many years

    I learnt this poem in school many years ago. Growing up on a property in the Australian Bush I have always related to the description of the droving life and to the concept that someone who lives the life of an itinerant worker in the bush would not "suit the office".

    My favourite line is "And at night the wond'rous glory of the everlasting stars." for I have also seen them and they still have a profound effect.

  • on At Grass by Philip Larkin, on May 19, 2006

    A new poem and a new author to me. Goody, goody

    A delightful description of two retired racehorses. Phil Larkin, with an economy of words has described vividly the both how the horses are now and how they were. I also like the fact that he has left them gently living on undisturbed.

  • Great

    I learnt this poem in primary school and have always loved it. The rhythm and tempo get me. The concept of the dying hoof beats has a haunting quality.
