I am not just saying this. I have goosebumps. I loved this. Spoke to me so softly, think the image did that, but what a poem to kick in and whisper .. I am speechless. Really have no clue what to say but this has touched me, and is just beautiful.
You have to submit this somewhere ... Awesome ~
but a previous comment drew me to this one. I don't think that I have ever read a poem that was put together so well. You could start at any line and read in any order and it still affects you. Thank you.
a way way belated thank you to you each for your most generous comments! My apologies for poor form! sherlock40, I hope you'll visit New Poems more often. There's no shortage of excellent poetry!
I liked the theme of the 'past being a far off country.' The stated aim is to persevere ~ no small thing. Lovely and enchanting.
....late, I know, on winning the illustrated poem for June 2006. I notice you have not shown any new work since November 2006, I hope you do again soon.
Oh, I don't know about you but I love my memories of the wasted partying years. Come to think of it, they weren't wasted ~ I was. And I loved every minute and glad to have had them.
