I ENJOYED THIS.
I felt your passion. I learned a bit about Australia that I didn’t know and I agree with the concept of pain tribute to those who have reached the mark in life where they have impacted many and you did that and it was great. I got a Music question for you but not in the middle of this really great poem that you wrote sooner. I’ll hit you with a private message. Very cool. I cool.

It scares me and thrills me both to have the last say and to give it to whatever audience comes my way. She’d done well though!

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.

Poignancy lives in your words . I really like the feeling that would disaster so closely over so is the pain and whatever brief interim that defines a positive transition I like that it’s a good piece Mr. Wakeling.

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.
