Posted this on http://megalithicpoems.blogspot.com/ earlier.
Couldn't find the original so have taken the liberty of changing a few words that didn't look right -
3rd line. alters to altars
13th line. Ard to And
15th line. Self-rightous to Self-righteous
Hope that's OK but please let me know if they shouldn't have been changed and I'll change 'em back.

Arthur Caddick's poem should read 'look not aloofly' not 'softly' - I should know I am his daughter Diana

Littlestone wrote: Ancient Monuments
They bide their time of serpentine
Green lanes, in fields, with railings
Round them and black cows; tall, pocked
And pitted stones, grey, ochre-patched
With moss, lodgings for lost spirits.
Alexander Thom (1894-1985)
Dunno if this has been mentioned before , so apologies if so , but the poem above was written by John Ormond from "Definition of a waterfall ", not Alexander Thom .

Thanks tiompan - never was able to confirm it was by Thom (which is going to be a great disappointment to a lot of people).
Tried to find the poem on the internet under John Ormand/Definition of a waterfall but can only get the names coming up. Do you have a link that I can go to that shows the poem with John Ormand as its author?

Mike Scott: Peace of Iona

Peace of Iona
peace of the glancing, dancing waves
peace of the white sands
peace of Iona
peace of the singing wind
peace of the stones
peace of Iona
peace of the crying gulls
peace of the humming bees
peace of the noontime stillness
peace of dreaming hills
peace of the breath of angels
peace of Iona
peace of the saints and seekers
peace of the monks and druids
peace of the resting place of kings
peace of the ruins
peace of doves in the bell tower
peace of Iona
peace of the glad heart
peace of the rested mind
peace of my lover's pots and potions
peace of her healing hands
peace of her lazy laughter
peace of Iona
peace of the unseen
peace of the spirit
peace of Iona
peace of the unseen
peace of the Spirit
peace of Iona

slumpy, have you got a decent pic of the Uffington White Horse (your own or someone else's that's out of copyright) that I can use for one of your poems?
Failing that, does anyone have a pic of the UWH that I could use?

Afraid not, all my good pics got lost in a big move :(
