Comment from RodG
I love western lore and this loop poem tells us quite a story about the stage carrying gold, its passengers, and the robbers themselves. Although I am not a fan of loop poems, this one flows smoothly from line to line and the ABAB rhyming is well done. Rod

Comment from dragonpoet
Hi Kay,
This poem shows how dangerous and hard it was to search for gold in the gold rush. It seems you needed to be armed and dangerous yourself to keep what you found.
This is a well done loop poem. But, there is one spot where the loop doesn't happen. That is between the second and third stanza.
Congrats on placing third in the contest.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Joan

Comment from CrystieCookie999
I think this is an excellent narrative poem also in loop format for most of it. I bet it took a long time to write. I only noticed one little fix: Track was dark before gold was won
Passengers drunk; women copped flack
I guess the Loop format was accidentally out or maybe you could get 'won' repeated before the word 'passengers' in the next line.

Comment from jake cosmos aller
a powerful and moving poem about the Australian gold rush on the 1850's. Not as famous as the California 49's, and the Yukon gold rushes of the later part of the 20th century.

Well Jake your country is bigger than ours! Our history is hidden, that is why I write about our first nation. My grandma was aboriginal. Blessings, K.
Comment from Shirley E Kennedy
Hi Kay,
A well written foray into the times of the goldrush era in Australia.
It must have been a race of chance for both drivers and passengers.
It's amazing how quickly the indigenous tribes learnt 'white man's ways'
so history advanced with cultures somewhat hand in hand, or so it seems.
Blessings

Hi Shirley, This was a true story, only two female bushrangers in those days. One tough lady that married the white man. Most strange for those times. Love, Kay.

You have a vivid use of words that captures a clear scene. Your words remind me of my country's old west. Greed after gold. Excellent poem for the rhyming contest.

Hi Elaine, Thanks for reading, glad you enjoyed. Not like your O'L West but still a lot of Americans wouldn't have a clue about our old history. I research before I write. Love and a Panda Hug. K xx
Comment from Dolly'sPoems
A skilful loop poem, loving the matching rhymes and your sensitive story told here. The gold rush always brings everyone out of the woodwork to make a fortune and many murdered for it. A chilling tale, much enjoyed, love Dolly x
