Thanks, Michelle... no, it is amazing that poetry can inspire so many different responses in each individual person and will always be interpreted uniquely - that's its beauty, I suppose!! When I chose this title, I actually meant no true parallels with the wonderful ladies who go by that name, but rather soley intended it as referring to the cows themselves - but with the slant of the whole picture being a slight retrospective, nostalgic view. The second part I wrote about six months ago and that was titled "Winter Cows" then!! By the way, Andy's comment cracked me up completely! What a wag!!

You really brought this to life, I was smelling cows and hearing them while reading this wonderful, well-written poem. I admit that I didn't see what Bill saw in it, but I like that you tied history/landgirls into this write.

This poem dearest Lady is a tableau vivant inside of me. I remember each turn of a phrase and feel sohorific; like walking in a dream.
To me dear one this poem is a fondant ... but not a bitter sweet one ... but one that opens up a world of mystery and intrigue. What seems to me would be an ordianary pleasure, now becomes so important that I read each unfamiliar word you write like I am seeking the key to the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you write is masterful. But I await what is to come; as you delve into the mysteries of your life and heart. I know you won't disappoint me. You can't do that. It would be contrary to your nature. In closing all I can say is" "Moo moo moo" Hugs xx Bill
