Awesome write Ben! I was a bit creeped out, it was like the end of times out there.

I liked it Ben. I imagine waking up to that and feeling the weird atmosphere. I felt it.

Glad to have you back Ben missed your writes.

Superb. You have captured all that is odd and silent in a cold crisp morning when the world hasn't begun to wake. All my best wishes Milly x

Ah I really like this, it made my mind create images that made me honestly smile. A deep breath kind of words. Thank you for sharing :)

I thought I was seeing things when I saw your name. Lol
Good to have you back!

Ben, mate, good to hear from you.
Your poems are always pleasant to read and so is this one.

LOVE IT!

Ben

Good to see you back amongst the PnQ writing halls, and back with a beautiful piece.
Well done fella
Michael :)

Beautiful work! Felt like I was on a nature walk on cool crisp morning, its a wonderful nature scene that you have painted with your words. Excellent write!

such vivid imagery. I love a crisp morning walk. It reminds me of robert frost

Ben, I love this as much now as before. The image you conjure is so clear in my mind and I just love the title too! :-) x
=^.^=

Me ol' mucker you write like a beast :)

All the best

Ben

Hi Ben I'm glad you revisited this piece and posted it again... I'm going to try and analyse it as best I can because I'm going stir crazy trying to distract myself from having my grandads funeral on Wednesday anyhow..

Title: I love this title especially as it raises the question of "what exactly did the badger find strange" although like all your writes we seemingly find out which is always exciting.

I was going to break it down into bits but my minds not on it so apologies on that one. The content and imagery is as evef, fantastic.

Fantastically rhymed and thought provoking as ever.

All the best
Em x apparently I've liked this and am too lazy to go through all the comments so not sure if I've commented.

Very beautiful make you feel like your really there you have a vivid imagination which make you a great writer never lose it

Hi Ben,

This was truly a pleasure to read, as all your works are :-)
A rhyming poem is a true treasure and poetry at its best.

Nice to see you back,

Ingrid
