Hi David,
No need to feel bad for repeating what others are saying. It's good to get a lot of individual opinions, and when those opinions match, it tends to add more weight, I think. Yes, I like animal poems, but the reason I'm posting so many is that I'm putting together a collection of science and nature poems. I wouldn't seem so obsessed if I didn't have this focus for the collection :-)
No, I don't think I've come across any of DH Lawrence's poems on animals. Yes, by all means, pile on the recommendations. I might get some inspiration/direction.
Many thanks, David. I really appreciate it.

I know by now that you like animal poems. Have you read any of D. H. Lawrence's poems in that genre? He's not afraid to put himself into the poem, along with the animal, and the result can be electrifying (although it's still mostly about the animal). I can give you the names of a few of them, if you're interested. You might find it an approach that suits you too.
Cheers
David
