I shall not go there again

I shall not go there again. No more shall I walk the purple embroidered heather hills.

The majestic peregrine falcon no more graces the far horizon. The local gamekeeper poisioned it to protect his lordship's grouse.

I shall not go there again. The hitherto distant horizon clear is darkened and echoes with the dying peregrine's haunting wail.

I shall not go there again. Soon the horizon will be filled with deafening sound of gun fire and dead grouse will rain from the blood stained sky.

I shall not go there again.

Leon I couldn't agree with you more. Despicable pastime.

Such a disgusting inexcuseable practice! Sport? don't make me cry!


Abdul, this poem is so moving and I know that the sentiments therein must weigh as heavy on your heart as they do on mine.

Nevertheless, a very well written poem thank you for sharing it.

LS.

Thank you Philipos for your usual well measured comments. It is a shame we can't communicate with the bird spieces. If we were able to it might change our behaviour towards them.
Appreciate the like.

The sport of Kings and seasonal slaughtering of wildfowl sucks. What if the birds could speak? ?
