  • on September in Australia by Henry Kendall, on April 6
    An excellent poem by Henry Kandall. I live in Australia and can relate to the imagery provided but my favourite poem of Kendalls is still "Bellbirds"

  • on The Lay of the Motor-Car by A B Banjo Paterson, on March 23
    Banjo is a favourite of mine and this is the first time I have found a reference to a motor car. Written 1901 and first published 1905. There were few roads in the late 1930's that were sealed as they mostly are today and I can only imagine what they drove their first cars on. I like the poem immensely.

  • on In the Droving Days by A B Banjo Paterson, on March 14
    A masterful interpretation of the 'droving days'. The rhythm, rhyme and imagery tell it just like it was, with the music of the muster flowing with the words.Wonderful writer.

  • on I watch people in the world by Taigu Ryokan, on March 10
    The battle is endless. Be satisfied with what you have and good will come to you. Nothing has changed in hundreds of years. What a pity. Well written and still relevant.
