Goosebumps and shivers DW…hadn’t thought about Carriage 3 in a long while. I was in upper primary school learning to bowl rather than pitch… was meditating about Granville about a week ago or so wondering if I would ever pay them homage in poetry- you’ve well and truly upped the bar!!! 🤲🏻👍🏻👍🏻 (Liked and faved mate)

Wow, The ending had me stunned. I wasn’t expecting that at all. At least their final moments were together and they weren’t alone. I am still shell shocked David. A great read.

One verse brings in the theme of assisted death - controversial maybe, But some continue on in a \'living death\' and misery, pain, or sickness, etc.

Profound!! Deep poem regarding euthanasia or suicide, whichever you wish to call it it has its positive and negative elements depending upon the case. Mixed emotions and nicely written.

Classically stated in the first stanza and modern day story transpires in the second and the third returns to the classical. The poem of darkness and light it has the most somber finish.

He either was healed of this romantic rejection or he dies still in his love however unrequited. Either way, a powerful expression.

Until next year my love. I think that is the translation. An anniversary picnic. I found this sad. I felt the grief here. For a loved one to disappear without trace, grief beyond measure. Yet there is something so menacing about seagulls. Thanks for posting David. I enjoyed the read.

Feelings of loss, a yearning for what once was. All this and yet I sense a deeper metaphor into that by the salmon, cheese and wine, and how they were accepted by the birds nicely written.

there are some who still prefer the darkness, but your poem shines like a bright beacon egging them on to enjoy the bright daylight and all it represents

Fine words David but the beauty of the night shows such wonder to me especially sitting outside in the summer nights with a glass of something tasteful by my side.

Funny you’d say that. It was raining all last night and the mercury dropped you’d think it would slip backward to winter! We did the laundry with the damp, overcast sky - the laundry liquid is Waratah scented as well. Pretty confused climates youda thort we were in Melbourne.

A beautiful expression of the dichotomy between day and night stated. I love the line. God ran out of ideas. And also- Cover up the darkness with something even darker. Beautifully stated
