Where the sandstone dares to outcrop.

Jak, I believe I recall you from 'years ago'. I wonder if you are still around. Hmm? Line 14: You have fallen into the 'its/it's trap'; many have fallen, including me. See? : 'So graceful against it's backcloth of blue.'

How DARES that sandstone! Pretty cheeky of it! Its backcloth I am loving this and shall send to MyPoemList. I would chop outcropped from last stanza, .....but no one asked my opinion! ! Hee-hee. Favorite (of many) lines: It's amazing, you know, that a kite fears a crow,   For the crow comes and sees it away. :) Bri

Such beauty in your pen. I really was there surveying the scenic vista and loved the....'And my collie puts her head on my knee'. Your poem gives a feeling of well-being and belonging. Thank you Jak....10

Excellent rhyming and choice of words that compel vivid images. No cityscape could compare to this wonderful rural scene. What a delightful poem.

With fond memories of you & your poems in my mind (the back of my mind; that's where my best memories are stored)
