[hometext] => A portrait of an intimate wild landscape.
[bodytext] => This is wild country, Vast open skies atop lonely hills Straddled by remote farms, The bleating of sheep And the sinister cry of the buzzard. This is dream making country, The sing song splash of water over rocks, The sigh of the wind through abseiling bracken, The far skyline heavy with a promise, Never asked for but always fulfilled. This is poetry writing country, Trees dancing and swaying in a haunted copse, The high ridges sparse and aloof and silent, A stillness deeper than the river and a moment devoured By the shrieking cry of the hovering Kite. This is my country An intimate portrait of man and landscape Blended together by water, sky and meadows. The loneliness of hills my brother, the cry of buzzard My song sang for this wild solitary place.
