Array ( [sid] => 161583 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Wild Country. [time] => 2010-08-03 07:13:22 [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.

Your words literally painted a picture in my head, and I think I will go in my basement now and start drawing it out on a canvas. Great write!

Oh My Dennis, your poetry entertains my "Mind's Eye" and sets my heart a fire.
I feel as though I'm right there in the Wild Country of yours.
Thank you so much for painting this lovely picture with your lovely words!
Warm love
