The Wild Geese I.P.

A good one Chris. Well done.

Beautiful. Not sure about 'or pay stoic...'. Seems like one syllable too many. How about 'to stoic nature's tolls.'?

Thanks Luigi ;)

Thanks chuck. Your dead right about the syllable but couldn't put 'to' in there as it is really the opposite that I am saying.
It's the toll that nature/time is demanding...took away the 'or' and used a semicolon on the line before..what do you think, will I get away with it?
Thanks for spotting that, I'm not usually lax when it comes to rhythm but missed that one, big time; cheers!

Ask Ewan. It does seem better now but I'm not the one to ask about poetry. Maybe I'm too conscious of rhythm.

I have Ewan's arse annoyed; he spends more time correcting my work than writing his own ;)

Lovely, with a nice hint of melancholy. Margot

Thanks Margot for the kind words ;)

Thanks for the cherry folks ;)

Lovely, as late summer honeysuckle :-) atb lenax

Ahh, thanks Lena ;)...I'm blushing lol

it is a lovely ip isn't it, and i really like what you wrote too. Congratulations for the cherry! : )

Thanks insert. I nearly used another one for this I.P. (They Offer Tears) but glad I didn't now. It was a great idea of Nathan for the I.P. and certainly was different. Glad you liked ;)

Nice one : it tinkles like music.

...and the older the fiddle...

Thanks Hilary, glad you liked the tune ;)

I can't pick my favourite stanza they're all so good! Well done on the cherry with this ;) Much deserved!

Thanks Magic ;)XXXX

Rather enjoyed it it's more a song than a poem &&

(Chose this one for the title I'd hoped it was on the dogs of war. Could be.. )
