finally the angels come to send the rain to the desert, his poems are often in the minor key because the poet himself is not quite in full health,5 Stars full
A rather dejected poem, yet God's blessing comes upon Andy in the end. Pretty beautiful poem, but very sad, beautiful rhyming endings,
A wonderful poem so well crafted and executed. Compelling images.
Well articuated and nicely brought forth in verse with rhythmic splendour....
Andy is to spend 14 days in quarinteen because he crossing the border. Police will check his papers and his cattle, to see they are in order. Andy does'nt mind the wait, He'll forget about the broken gate For now he's in the Sunshine state, And livin' it up, Mate.

love this poem. had to do this for a task at school and love every word in this poem.
We learnt this poem at school as kids. It was good then, it is good now.
Andy's Gone With Cattle, i like this poem and the queensland theme is just perfect
I love it. I can't really explain what but there is something very dear and precious about Andy himself. it's almost like that feeling you get after reading a book and you're in love with a character. This felt like that.
wow! this is very nice description of queensland. i've been to brisbane on month of june it's lovely and people are very nice. i love that meat pie. no women in pubs.
is it possible that ANDY signifies the FERTILITY of the soil in Australia... and CATTLE signifies the economy? ? and the title ANDY'S GONE WITH CATTLE means... the fertility of the lands of australia's gone as well as the economy's falling look at each line.... i think i made some sense...heheh PS: the melody is really good-no it's great.... i must agree with angela: GREAT WORDS AND FANTASTIC POEM...
Beautiful poem. Well chosen words. It just offers hope in a hopeless situation. It just tells you that you hane to be optimistic, what a poem!
Beautifully written 👏 it's like song to my ears
