A gift from the heart is a true gift, it is not giving thinking how it will be received, so sometime we can have regrets after but not at the time of giving. An interesting write that makes you have a think, enjoyed reading.

Another poem that makes one ponder. One should never give a gift that one regrets. A gift is from the heart freely given with no regret regardless of what is done with it anything else is but a ransom. A wonderful write nicely worded and structured

Child or adult we often do foolish things that have bad results. Things we never intended but in our ignorance or neglect we are responsible and have to live with it. A wonderfully written piece set up well and well told with a sinking feeling at the end.

We have our own version in the West Moreton region, the Walloon sisters who both drowned in their backyard dam. So sad. 🕊

Some really great lines in this poem \"God is ill and his silence is a cage\" is one that evokes a great deal of thought. Very nicely done David.

The words and lines come to me like a dance between hope and despair, love and fear. It resonates deeply, offering a powerful reflection on our collective journey. 👍🏻🙏🏻🕊

Beautiful verse and near rhyme in a somewhat classical form that carries the reader through this world to the beyond. It floats effortlessly as a cloud through the sky. It leaves behind an etherial feel.

A most beautiful tribute and poem to a land. It rouses the heart with pride and calls for a sense of nationalism. Much to be proud of here in both the land and the poem full of images and history.

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

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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. 👍🕊️
