Welcome to WDC from "Newbie Welcome Wagon" ! Hello there, White Flower! I'm no expert on poetry, so I won't go do a 'technical' review of this, but I thought it wasn't bad. I see that you're from Australia, so I would presume you know a lot about wide-open spaces, eh? I've never been there, but outside of the larger cities, that's how I envision it anyway. The reason I bring that up is I like the point you made with this poem; we do have a whole world to live in (minus certain communist countries-I'll be damned if I'll even get anywhere N. Korea! ), so to whine about where one's living doesn't make a lot of sense. Granted it takes some $$$ to move, but it can be done! As far as living on a farm, I've lived on one. Also lived in the big city, but I'm a country boy by heart. As far as I'm concerned, if those city-slicker idiots want to live in their concrete jungles all their lives and think that going out in nature is going to the park and seeing a squirrel, more power to 'em! But I used to cut firewood for a living, and I've seen some things in the woods that most city boys couldn't imagine! OK. I just had to get that out. I feel better now! Anyway, as I said, this isn't bad, WF, as far as the subject matter. Kee ponw ritin gon, mate, and welcome to WdC! If you like to write, then you're going to love it here!
