You'll have to get it from Wendy Bishop, you can find her teaching as a Professor in literature at Florida State University.


I'll have a go, this is my crummy version as an example of empty words;

After the raging battle
Dead sailors lay in the water.
Their bodies wash up on the beach,
sad remnants of a great slaughter.


this is Kenneth Slessor's masterpiece;

Softly and humbly to the Gulf of Arabs
The convoys of dead sailors come;
At night they sway and wander in the waters far under,
But morning rolls them in the foam.

Excellent example, Neville. To quote the legendary Shane Crawford: "That's what I'm talkin' about!"

Great example Nevvie ...

G'day Manfred, David. It's all too easy for me to concoct a bad example I have to rely on someone else for a good example
