Yes, what a wonderful song,
Ann; thank you for sharing :-)
Martin, thanks for enjoying the pigeon piece :>)
Thanks for the link to your own pigeon poem. It's excellent, full of movement and metaphor; I particularly like the 'rabbits in their huts' and 'the Bird Olympics' sound thrilling. That's a very nice picture of you and your dog. Perhaps you could think about using it for your next book?
I know a bit about the passenger pigeon through a poem a friend wrote a few years ago. Was the last of the species named 'Martha'? I suppose pigeon poems aren't strictly planet poems, but I'd be interested in seeing yours, if you'd like to post it somewhere.
Yes, 'Sol Concealed' is also v.g. and I thought of 'The Stargazer's Dog' this afternoon, as I was searching for Gershwin on YouTube and came across
this little tribute, lol. I thought you, and anyone else who's keen on canines, might enjoy it.
I shall write something suitable for this thread soon, I hope.
Best wishes,
Fliss
