Great picture expressing the poem intensely. The imagery was just fantastic. A very frightening experience for the drovers and the sheep. God almighty!!! Very well pictured poem Aussie.

I wouldn't have liked to be on top of that ridge - at least death was instant. Thanks so much for reading. Blessings, Kay.
Comment from GracieAnn
This write is packed with great a-b, a-b rhyming scheme, that is original. It is salted with appropriate language for the culture and continent. The words chosen are powerfully combined and allows the reader to be there, so to speak. I appreciated learning some interesting history and terminology in Australia's ranger world. Wow, and woe at the explosion of God's electricity in nature nharnessed. Great description of the atmosphere and intense weather.
I love opals! I have 5, but do not own a black one...drool. Great job! :0 GracieAnn

Hello from Australia! I write story/poems about our history; if you look in my portfolio you will find them. Thanks for reading. Blessings, Kay.
Comment from CrystieCookie999
This is so interesting I really wish it were longer. I get you are going for a condensed rhyme scheme, though. My grandfather was a sheepherder, and I must admit I had not heard of a "mob" of sheep before.
