Was you ten, millions of years ago - or seems that long?! heehee.
Good write Alan. Yes, happy Primary School days for me then. And - all would rush to take the school bunnies/mice/hamster home for the school holidays.

A Winter Morn

That\'s a great write Alan - I love the way it scans, rhymes and the references to Nature. Reminds me too of the Victorian poets and especially Thomas Hood\'s Remember, Remember - which is a favourite of mine.

The Year\'s Adieu
Robert Southwick Richmond said:
I\'m an unabashed formalist. I don\'t see form as archaic, rather I see present-day poets as unschooled in the craft. You can\'t be a poet and not know an iamb from a door-jamb, any more than you can plink a guitar without knowing at least three chords.
The very regular meter of this poem would be described as \"76.76 D (Iambic)\". There aren\'t too many common hymn tunes in this meter: ELLACOMBE and ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL. The frequent feminine rimes have to be taken into account.

orchidee said:
Good write Alan.
I could set it to a hymn tune if you wish? I have a short back-log of Carols for this season!
Erm, Bonjour? I not quite know the lingo. lol.
Adieu is better than seeing off the year with the F word though, as some are. Ooohh!

Alan - A very well structured poem penned in the \"traditional\" (and some say archaic) style - but I love this form.

Bragee said:
As you stated above, sometimes “That’s the way it goes” although a rather unfortunate feeling.
Great writing, maybe slip this two her and allow her curiosity to spark the desire to notice you.

Thanks ASJ it canters along nicely this pony tail and evokes memories of Appleby and watching stables run out on Southport beach.
You very much capture the tensions of bidding!

beautifully constructed,
as ever I am left in awe at Poetry\'s endless wonder, to think such a subject can yield the most emotive of Poetic of content,
what an immersive and vivid write
\'The gavel falls ~ slam!
How gladsome I am,
As she sleeps in my stable tonight.\'

You had to travel for that one - didn\'t you? Needed horse had to go?
I tripped over at the first fence - the Widecombe Fair: but once I realised (after a quick recce) that it wasn\'t an Old Uncle Tom Cobley and all in terms of number of lines, I settled down and thoroughly enjoyed the short trip - the story telling, form pace and suspense.
Good stuff.
