LIVE AND LET LIVE

[Dave Smith]

I still have firearms in my gun safe and at time have a need to use them but I am against wanton destruction of wild life for the sake of sport. That’s just vandalism.

But if you are going to eat meat something has got to die!

And camping how could you not like camping? Mind you we don’t sleep on the ground any more.

Nothing to be sorry about Maureen Just my thoughts on an approach to writing, make of it what you will.

Neville we are going on the Anne Beadell hwy next month and need to take the trailer to carry our excess fuel and water (800 k of desert with out a fuel stop) so I built a timber base for our dome tent on the top of the trailer and fitted an innerspring mattress therefore we won’t be sleeping on the ground. We have a small set of steps and reading lights and drink bottles and the works neat hey.

Now I haven't done a 'Pauline' for a while...

G'day Maureen.
Do we have Nightingales? or an equivelant. A very pleasent read, except for the inverted sentence (I'll have to go back and note the spot). I must be catching Glenny's hives because twisting the words round in the normal flow of a sentence gives me the itch.
so does sticking an exta word in a line instead of finding another way of saying what you are tring to say. (you haven't done this I just wanted to include it) I have stopped commenting on everything, as I am sure you have notices but I like the concept of this poem, it's a keeper.

OK it was at the end of stanza four that struck me as being forced. Now with second reading I see the internal rhyme. I didn't see it before. I think this is a sign that it has been done well (?) We will have to ask David Campbell what he thinks. Good on you Maureen you are expanding you skills.
