Hi Ray,
Has a slight Beat Poetry feel to the piece. Intriguing imagery:
veins of ferns..
..a subcontiment/ the sun your mentor
Perfect.

Guns and knives being used a lot recently to kill.
A strong piece, thought provoking. I read it twice.

Strong writing on an issue I feel strongly about myself.
Someone said, children should be seen and heard and listened to.

Hi Adam,
thank you so much for your feedback. I do have a bit of an advantage as I have the good fortune to work with asylum seekers and refugees and am constantly inspired by their tenacity and lust for life. Thanks again - it is a piece close to my heart.

I wish there is so much more to this poem so many lines you started with this fantastic jumping off point I wish you would've jumped And in the eye of the dead cow for a moment I thought it was winking back at me certain that I too would be dying in this night but I would not go quietly into the white ...I would instead sing in hope that old cow might hear me and
Like a newborn child come to dance with me again....

Thanks, Martin. I take great pleasure in individual words - I would almost say the feel of them - so I know what you mean about jouncing! Trying to combine the right words in the right order is what its all about!!

I think Keith is right in that it has an almost mystical quality about it. Wonderfully put as usual Ian.

A really beautiful poem , a joy to read . Certainly making me feel at peace and rest. So much beautiful imagery I am almost finding myself on the back of a hay cart being carried along by these words.
I also love the word jouncing.
Wonderful stuff

Really excellent Ian. It has a long view and a gentle warmth to it - an allegory of the death of a close one I should say. Highly affecting stuff. Very distinctively written.

A sense of frustration and isolation from the expected glories of creativity, is what I read here Stu. Beautifully and poignantly presented, a sort of rictus .

There is so much detail just in these few lines in which you say much. Wonderful stuff here Stu. It also appeals to my melancholic side of my nature.
I also love the sense that there is an inevitability portrayed here.
Fabulous

Thanks for commenting on the 'amerikkkan trilogy v 2.0) glad you liked 'no.3' - I've posted each part previously as stand alone poems - but thought I'd repost the lot as the music version.
Thanks for taking the time to comment
Peace & Love

Had not heard the word 'sodapop' in years, not since high school reading Hinton. Very nostalgic-like read that has a good flow to it.
