Thank you so much Lynn H. for this challenge theme. The Weekly Informal Challenge theme is "Living Poetry". Let your mind "wander" as you pair verse with vision. Please keep it fresh. Remember (most of all) HAVE FUN.

Heart Full of Soul

"Sick at heart and lonely
Deep in dark despair
Thinking one thought only
"Where is she, tell me where?"

Not strictly living except in the heart of we Australians who
cherish the words of A.B.Patterson...Banjo as he was known
who wrote about a time and a place that today is still a part of
"The High Country"
I have attached a Youtube video of the movie clip showing the ride
that is set to the poem which you hear throughout.
This colt is not out of "Old Regret" but he could have been

Double Challenge Entry ~ Influential Music/Living Poetry

The Velvet Underground’s founder and chief songwriter, Lou Reed, was an English major in college who took creative writing classes (he would later even use one of the short stories he wrote in college as the basis for an experimental Velvet’s song called “The Gift”); its name was appropriated from the cover of an obscure novel (about kinky sex); its first album featured one song dedicated to a contemporary poet and another based on a nineteenth-century novel by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch; and Sterling Morrison, its lead guitarist and another English major, would go on to earn a Ph.D. in literature from the University of Texas after the band’s demise. Indeed, as Morrison once said, “we were quite intelligent. I’m sure we were the most highly scholarshipped band in history.” from http://www.poetryfoundation.org/harriet ... of-poetry/
