while thinking of south country
Re: while thinking of south country
A delicious culinary delight. It's exciting discovering new flavours and it sounds as though your appetite has only just been whetted Matt. I did enjoy the touch of humour.

Wonderful Matt, I love it One of my favourites is "Nuremberg" since I am a fan of Albrecht Dürer. Even though it's not about Australia or the bush with its whey faced anonymity.

It was Slessor's Country Towns that inspired me to have a go at a poem along the same theme.

Or, Matt
you could respond like Les Murray

I want to be as good as that.
You may not be a Murray
but you can travel
with
the same vision.

Matt I feel sure that Heaney, Thomas etc would welcome you into their ranks. I wonder which poets made them want to chuck it in? Is it the lot of poet, an artist etc to never be totally satisfied? It would be pretty boring if we all wrote the same though wouldn't it?

By the way Matt, you may know that there is a North Country too, with its wonderful " scornful rumps of cows "

Re: while thinking of south country
Why "scornful" rumps I wonder Neville. I've owned and bred cows and "scornful" is not a word that readily springs to mind when looking at a cows rump!
Re: while thinking of south country
We all see the world through different glasses -thankfully.
He must have had a run-in with a cow hey Matt? I did once - got kicked in the knee by a cow of a cow. I won though, the bitch took up two freezers.
