Buffaloes And The Blue Planet
from Waterskiing on Poetry - Waving hello to poems and poets with Neil Elder · host Neil Elder
Ep 14. Recorded on Sir David Attenborough's 100th birthday, this episode treads an ecological path. We explore 'The Flower-Fed Buffaloes' by Vachel Lindsay, and 'Report To Wordsworth' by Boey Kim Cheng. Both poems raise the matter of how human activity impacts the environment - and at the end of our skim across those poetic waters, I offer my poem in honour of Sir David.To read the poems go here - https://allpoetry.com/The-Flower-Fed-Buffaloeshttps://big-slate.com/study/en/c/85e7bbea/report-to-wordsworth-boey-kim-chengTo hear Vachel Lindsay read the poem go here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-GyPsFcnLQ
