A great story with a moral that we all have if we only take time to listen, Too many in todays society don\'t take the time to listen to others. Nicely written

Poetic Licence said:

The elements that give so much life yet at the same time away so much life, the power of nature, enjoyed the read

Mythical in form, Biblical in sound, Apocalyptic as it reads, this poem shows a dark face. Very nice David

WAU 1982.
Cassie58 said:

A somber poem. I am unsure what WAU 1982 represents, but it leaves me with a heavy heart. Some fine poetic lines contained in the stanzas, and the final line ends on a more optimistic note. The sun in the sky, is far better than a sunken sun. Fine poetry David.

WAU 1982.

Liked and Faved! Very sonorous both in language and meaning… have you been holding back this other side of you!? πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ•Š

WAU 1982.
Poetic Licence said:

I might well be wrong, i took this to about the civil war in Sudan (The Title), which was then followed by another war, apoligies if i am. It is still a very well crafted piece of writing, painting many a haunting image.

WAU 1982.
sorenbarrett said:

I would indeed be remiss to not give this a Fave. David what has happened to your writting? Although it was always good this is in a class of its own. I sparkles with a classical flair and despite wonderful rhyme it holds deep metaphor and meaning. This is one of my favorite of yours. Very well done.. no brilliant!!

Faith and Warragul.
sorenbarrett said:

A sad story of love and giving and the cost of it to both parties. This metaphor echoed in religious stories shows devotion and love through action. A most charming story told with great imagery.

Faith and Warragul.
arqios said:

Quite tragic but also courageous! We are looking at a prospective trip to Arnhem Land, not really sure that it will eventuate. But I\'ve had a roadtrip to Warragul VIC sometime in 2005, no crocs about for a while there, but sure that there should be some way up north. πŸ‘πŸ•ŠοΈ

The talking song.
sorenbarrett said:

As I read this poem I feel an urgency, being shut out, too late, gone and I just noticed, but has been gone for a long time. We talk less now days too much to get in the way. Relationshiips have changed too they have a shorter life expectancy. Great poem

The Little Girl who learned to love Lightening.
arqios said:

During storms My siblings and I would be like the Darling kids playing about, although we had to Peter Pan. It was fearsome and thrilling all at once. Interesting though how this β€˜song’ got her through the death of a loved one as well… at least I presume the boyfriend died in the crash.
