Just wondered how many people still read poetry, and if so what their favourite is? Do you also use poetry when schooling?
I recite a poem when schooling a nervous horse and my favourite is The Man From Snowy River by Banjo Patterson. Particularly like this section (from memory so wording may not be 100% correct):
"He was hard and tough and wiry; just the sort that won't say die
There was courage in his quick impatient tread
And he bore the badge of gameness in his bright and fiery eye
And the proud and lofty carriage of his head
But I also really like The Timber Team by William Henry Ogilvie.
Anyone else or am i a solo loony?
