Proud Standard by WilkyBarKid

I love this kind of poem – not the so often blah blah trivial – but thought proving.
It is the difference between trying to climb a mountain and a mole hill -- I don’t care a scrap how well someone climbs some little hump.
Let’s have some more of these brave attempts to get higher and beyond the kitchen sink, and say something word worthy.
If only for its courage it is indeed a ‘Proud Standard' – and refreshing!

The Soluble Fish

Hi john, yes it was your hero's state of mind, and your treatment of it which struck me. I think you heightened what is so often treated in a belittling and mundane way. In spirit Chris

 

enjoyed it. and am currently having a pleasurable ramble through your back catalogue. good work, wilky!

 

Yes, mythology is certainly a rich sauce. Good luck with your daily poem John. I have that book by Graves,(wonderful) and try, at least, to read one every day. Chris
