It does not escape my notice that you can sing this to King's Lynn, like "O God of Earth and Altar."

This is profoundly beautiful. As a still lingering “liberaltarian”, creators like you are my only interaction with honest and passionate expression. Everything else seems so fake by comparison. It’s refreshing.

This is a rather fine poem. I'd be interested in seeing more.

I stumbled on your page after a discussion with a friend. It's nice to find honest poetic efforts that aren't captured by the zeitgeist.

"The field was set to fallow, then strangled by the snow" - very nice!

A creative offering:

Wonderful poem, Dave! Although I can’t help but feel that an opportunity was missed at line 11: ‘does’ could be replaced with ‘doth’ for great effect. Thank you for writing this.
