Reasons to include this information...

This is a rare UK Google search result
that leads to a PDF file, such as those
which contain some reference to the
Stephen Gayford wildlife poetry...

[PDF] is the text that appears at the
start of the search result and the PDF
file may be linked to directly... or we
choose Google's CACHED version...

Poetry Analysis...

For poetry studies, the English class
is guided through different aspects of
a selected poem. So, in this case, the
poem I wrote has been used for some
discussion purposes. The PDF file has
mentioned the poem a few times, even
though I've no idea how the discussion
went about this or any other wildlife
poem I've written. After about 700
Stephen Gayford poems, I'm more
interested in the online collection at
the poemhunter-dot-com website.

Over 2,200 poems are online...

The collection can be downloaded as
a PDF file which is updated and saved
after a few more poems are uploaded.

Website and Image searches...

The big cats have become the majority
of the Stephen Gayford paintings that
are still found on the Internet, thanks
to auction websites and eBay sellers...

http://www.ebay.co.uk
http://www.picclick.co.uk

Picclick offers better image title names,
since the descriptions are the titles rather
than eBay just providing the pixel sizes...
The far right slide control can increase
the sizes of the named images as well...
We can adjust the far left filter options to
whatever helps get better image results...

The Big Cats are the most popular paintings

So, some of wildlife pictures are about the
strength and style of these creatures and
some are about the family life with cubs.
We see Bengal tigers with the familiar
black and orange stripes, as well as the
white tigers more recently discovered.

Not all of the big cats are chosen to share

Even so, many of the big cats don't get
any paintings at all. The BIG CATS
TV shows, mentioned in the May blog,
have explained the big cats' family tree.
We only know a few of these, as were
seen in the wild, as Stephen Gayford
has explained in a picture's details on
the rear panel, such that we get some
idea of the environment and scenario.

Cartoons and wildlife films and even more

It's likely that those countries would
show more interest in these creatures,
as a continuation of folklore, as well as
such creatures appearing in Disney films
and wildlife features and also in cartoons.

Man chooses descriptions for the animals

Some of the poems were written with
such memories still in my mind and that's
why some poems are meant to be funny
rather than serious, or reflecting the
view of Man in regard to describing the
status of the leaders with titles like king
and queen, prince and princess and more.

The dynamic creatures get more attention

Such creatures rule by strength, guile and
courage, with these being represented as
Nature's way of preserving the species
across thousands of years. However, the
fact is, that some poems are meant to be
sympathetic to wildlife conservation...

Endangered species are still at risk

The UK TV adverts feature these as the
endangered species they've become...
Stephen Gayford supported conservation,
so that's why I wrote the poems when it
seemed an appropriate time to remind the
readers of what could be done to support
such causes, like Sky's Rainforest Rescue...
