*keep talking get it off your chest
whislt i hear morning bird band;
if your ancestors are better
and you know all far more clever
you believe that yours do shine
come from better stock than mine
that you tell me what to write
or of how i feel tonight
if your character is perfect
may it be in time you do reflect
*for you could not see my forest
only sticks and barren land;
a bit of news i have for you
high and mighty just wont do
i have nothing left to say
you've thrown all that away
if your country is more beautiful
and you find fault with our dutiful
then i ask you why so pompous
poison to mares as fescue grass
*you've given off a treasure chest
go to ayers i'll keep my meadowland;
you wish that talk to you i do
that's one dream shall not come true
when you walk old down sydney streets
think of that heart of yours you cheat
for you no longer have your youth
only your dear oblivious truths
look down on me from upperside
be alone then with your pride
*whilst i sleep in charming nest
you go live your life that's grand.

dear lady, this is just wonderful. I do not know the characters of whom you so eloquently speak but the emotional output is fantastic. The layout is wonderful and I'm going to have to paint a couple of those scenes that you have interspersed in your work. they're great.
great piece. thank you so much for sharing. |

Nessa, I know the poem....but do you think I remember who it is? Enchantingly moving, your images are so fitting to your message. Pictures speak louder than words, and enchance any poem anyone should write. This is marvelous, please tell, don't keep me in the dark........I can't even guess........but loved the words........Prideful and arrogant for sure
Lovely

A memorable write..you are correct when
you say ancestry does not the decide a man's character in the present day society..
hence it is apt to say "if your character is perfect may it be in time you do reflect " then
"keep talking get it off your chest for you could not see my forest, you've given off a treasure chest whilst i sleep in charming nest..."...Those lines are really captivating hugs my friend. venkat

| i really enjoyed this poem especially the layout with the pics that was very clever of you... reading this makes me feel a bit different from everyone else who commented... this poem makes me sad.. it reminds me of all this stuff that is going on with the war and beatings and killings of our solidiers and theres and it makes me sick.... world peace is a better way to go i think... but i still love your poem... |

Without a doubt, Henry Lawson is my favorite poet in the entire whole world. This comment will not do what you have achieved here any justice Nessa.
Parody is one of the most important skills in poetry (i feel) you have not taken anything from the original poet's intentions but have carried on a beautiful engagemnet of mirth, candor and very skillful fingerpointing. The use of the original text within your parody was executed precisily and enhances your points I think. What else can I say? I love it, well done, a gold star? I hope ol' Henry is watching...

How can I possibly top the truth of what all the others have said? Your determinatioin to get the truth across is as magnificent as the words that you convey! You put so much into your work, I only pray it returns to you one-hundredfold! As for the pics? (speechless)
What a woderful work of art you have created!
