Soil Comments

you

I see you lookin' at my pic I see...

This had me intrigued from the very start. What a wonderful poem!

Insightful and profound......

Letme die a youngman's death even if I am..... I share the same sentiments with you-well done!

nose clippings are yummy

i eat lots of buitos and tacos.

When I was a boy we were good friends I made pies out of you when you were wet And in childhood's remembered summer weather We roughandtumbled together We were very close.. Sweet memories. a fine poem.

just you and me and the sun the world a place for having fun always so much to be done......much impressive lines with lofty theme. Beautiful poem. Thanks and congratulation for being chosen this poem as the modern poem of the POD.

But suddenly it was winter And you seemed so cold and dirty That I stayed indoors and acquired A taste for girls and clean clothes....life suddenly starts to seek the indoor path where the peaceful mind lives gradually but outdoor the aroma of soil calls to enjoy entirely.... great poem

A rather witty poem on the surface, so typical of Roger Mcgough, but with an underlying depth that addresses the vagaries of the human condition.I'm particularly impressed by the way it moves effortlessly from childhood to late adulthood. Seemingly, soil symbolises death and the passing of time.; which the poet will 'avoid'...' as long'as' he can.

anytime to call would be the wrong time I'll avoid you as long as I can.........................A very sad poem, no soil anymore? Because you have become a strictly city man? Congratulations on being chosen as The Modern Poem Of The Day. FRIDAY 6 May 2020. Reagrds, SFC the Netherlands

great connection made by the poem with the soil - just you and me and the sun the world a place for having fun always so much to be done great writing

Very beautiful poem dear poet......../////////

A lovely trip down the memory lane to revisit childhood and hobbies nurtured then. Well deserved modern poem of the Day.

haunting and hovering

we found less and less to say you were jealous so one day I simply upped and moved away a very good poem. tony

I have become increasingly aware Of you watching me out there. Patient and unforgiving Toying with the trees............ very good poem.. tony

a philosophy between human and soil

A modern poem with a feel of an old, with a solid narrative, not a line that does not make sense, how unlike many we read today!
