Cynthia,
This is a poem to lift hearts as it brims with joy and optimism. My garden resembles your description yet I am fearful of cutting the lawn as I might damage the snowdrops and crocuses which have all come to life and add such colour.
I hope all goes well for you
Keith

I know it's the tail end of the month, but that's OK. I have a moment to share today, and maybe not four days from now.
I have a huge 'thumbs up' from the Christie operation, three or four more chemo sessions for unseeable cancer cells, and regular checks thereafter. I am a blessed lady.
And I'm still writing. Hallelujah!

"in the blue- greeen meadow,
of my silent soul"
What a beautiful opening line, it immediatly calms and sooths, then to end with -
"for the aching world to behold it's beauty"
I feel both soothed and saddend.
It is an 'achingly' beautiful poem.

Dorothy you've put John M's poem
On a level we need to think about
We kill off these animals which are of benefit
To our natural world, there is no doubt
But these kill-offerers don't give a toss
Kill the fox, cull the badger shoot the crows
They're just little grown-up Terences
Adding to our problems and our woes
Come on the giant... ?

Trevor,
Congratulations on this award which is richly deserved. I too am a great fan of Eiolt, Auden, Whitman and Ginsberg as they all inspire me.
Your poem is an interwoven tapestry of beauty and imagination.
Thank you for this.
Keith

Do we all have a little bit of Terence tucked up iside us? (present company excepted)
Kill the the fox - it is vermin
cull the protected badger it spreads T.B.
shoot the crows even though they cleanse the fields of grubs.
Your giant is much needed.

I followed Terence in his nasty little pursuits down the poem and thought what this little tyke needs is some big giant to come up behind him. As if by magic....

I took so much from this Trevor. For me, it represents a powerful, sensitive depiction of watching a daughter's awakening. Well deserved POTW. Congratulations.

If only a few lashings would stop the suffering for the masses, I think there would be a long line of wrongdoers willing to endure the pain. Great piece of poetry Mae, made even better through your reciting. Thanks for sharing! ?

Thanks for your comments on "tonight" Ray. Its a strange world to live in sometimes. I'm a great fan of Camus and I hope he would have appreciated this too.
Sometimes in social situations I find the banality hard to deal with, I know what you mean about feeling outside. With the urge but no capacity to be quite "inside". Thanks again. Phil.

This is amazing ? beautifully written. I have a feeling you might be interested in Thelema, have a look into it if you haven't already. Nietzsche is one of Crowley's Gnostic saints.

Original item by John E Marks
You two lovely men I can talk honestly to I know, and would just like to say that this poem affects me keenly. I am a light drinker, not through any sense of moral containment or preference, but I would be flat out as my capacity is so low , as was my father's. He tried me out in the pub at 15, and was disappointed that I didn't take to it. Same with smoking , though I've always liked a pipe.
Lots of my good friends and indeed lady friends have liked a tipple. A few went under early. Lots of musos I know garnered work through bar contacts. I was always on the outside looking in. So in that sense probably the same mentally as you two.
To be understood in casual company is a tall order. I can't teach anything to you both about bosom buddies I know so I wouldn't try.
Well worth the reading and understanding Phil.
Ray
Very best, mate.

At the risk of laying myself open to complete ridicule I am quite certain that I live in a world of my own at times. My default is worry when I start to believe my own B.S.
A marvellous poem as always Keith both in its art and its ability to make the reader stop and think
