You have packed rich imagery into this poem, which describes the place and animals very well. It did remind me of a safari I once went on in Kenya too!

I did appreciate reading this this morning, at Easter as well! You really report your experiences in hospital so well and truthfully. It is a real insight for those of us who are not yet needing that level of assistance/medical intervention. It...
