Holy cows, for sure. Revered in India and allowed to roam where ever and whenever they want. You are right, we owe them so much. Really enjoyed your poem :)

Juggling so many characters

Posted on Tue, 08 Aug 2023

Juggling so many characters with believable dialogue is no mean feat. You do that really well which makes this so readable. I know it's a story that's been going for a while. Keep going. Paul

I like the contrast between the dialogue at the start and the escape into nature. Beautiful poetry kicks in like "..soul silent a pale shape glides between trees, perches.." And how wonderful, an owl! [Is that the owl pic on FB?]. A pleasure to...
