It was only later I was able to articulate how it made me feel and how the amazing use of language could evoke such passion and pride.You have reached into the thoughts and drive of the poet. You display through your words that you understood her. You are amazing and have moved me to tears with your deep reflections.<br />I love follow your learning on the blog.Mrs Clarknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7726590324459993231.post-21040715565610002972011-11-17T21:39:14.163+11:002011-11-17T21:39:14.163+11:00Hey Mark.

You spoke clearly and carefully, and I enjoyed listening to your lovely responses. Do you think the first verse refers to England? It sounds rather like it... and it sounds so dull in comparison to your country! You are indeed very lucky to live where you do - and how wonderful that you appreciate that.<br />Joe asks, 'What country are you passionate about?' Well I have never seen Australia, but I lived for a time in Spain and that is a country that inspires real passion in me - WOW! It's got everything! Great climate, beautiful scenery, amazing history, fabulous cuisine and a laid back culture. I just love it!Mrs Monaghanhttp://middlehampri2.posterous.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7726590324459993231.post-51326774823358919982011-11-16T20:57:10.333+11:002011-11-16T20:57:10.333+11:00Great work middles!
