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?

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?
