    What a nice description of Zeeland. It sounds like a lovely place to live. If only our memories of our former homes were actually true. As with a lot of things, we tend to embellish them in our minds and they are never the same when we do visit. Good job. 5/5

    The repetition of this line was great..
    "Oh land of my father's father,"

    The rest of the poem was interesting as well. It's always interesting to see what inspires people to write.. and where their thoughts and ideas come from. Quite the impressive description of this place. Well done.

    5/5.

    Ingrid... this is absolutely beautiful. I don't know why I've never read it before. I just came across it... the way you end each stanza is powerful to me: <Most beautiful province of our land> I love that part. 5/5

    Really Really good poem..
    I know put it here a few months ago but I read it and I just needed to reply..
    I mysef also come from the Netherlands.. I live in Brabant.. My Grandmother used to live in Zeeland, and though she moved to Brabant many, many years ago, I know she always felt connected to Zeeland..
    And you have written this connection down in a perfect way!

    (Sorry for my bad grammar..)

    A homely and descriptive poem Ingrid. Made me feel all warm inside!
    I loved the imgagery you portrayed in the description of your Fathers land. I could see it myself, your words were that strong with impact.
    Nicely penned as usual.
