Thanks for sharing this poem and its backstory! Your grasp of Housman\'s work really shines through. I love how your poem flips his themes on their head, especially pointing out the irony of his long life vs. his poetic obsession with dying young. It\'s awesome that you wrote this back in 1971 and, minus a few minor tweaks, it remains intact. I am glad you decided to share it. Your take on Housman adds a fresh perspective to his work - nicely done!

A gorgeous rhythm and rhyme, that writes such a lonely scene, but in a very beautiful way. I also like the accompanying picture too, where both the pose and the shadow, depicts a visual statement of yearning.
I can relate to the sentiment you have raised at times, but such a poetic mantra should be a beacon of hope, to look forward to future meetings and rekindling, that would warm the heart.
Bravo, and I hope that all is well.

Great poem and artwork the poem has a Scottish of English flavor and though all others say Blake I sense a little Hieronymus Bosch. Loved especially the last line.

Awesome!
Really love this one. The flow is perfect. Reminds me of a mix of Dahl and Robert Service.
Perfect, to the point. Funny.

\"should\" - hasn\'t - will.
Reflection? No, definitely a refutation.
Which doesn\'t alter my intention as above.
A smooth gem full of truth - Thanks.
