Tom, I really admire your open nature, your ability to not be hidebound by preconceived notions of what I might be imbibing as I read your splendid advertisement for World Poetry Day.
This early in the morning It\'s a \'nice mug of tea\' - later I\'ll explore your other options......😊

What a wonderful tribute to World Poetry Day, I had no idea, tells you what rock I\'ve been living under. Each stanza typifying how much poetry means in our lives, classic. And then that last stanza, perfect, I laughed my you know what off. Thank you !

So very well described the aching of being not fine but smiling and saying yes regardless, and for a women going through something important and in some cases terrifying to ask just shows to me anyway, Soulmate this has so many layers of emotion and lessons for us all. Kudos 🌹

Should last line be a repeat \'What if?\' It says \'What it\'.
Yes, a terrible worry waiting for the No.7 bus too. I waited one Sunday for it for 2 hours. Then someone passed by and said \'Oh, it don\'t run on Sundays!\' Doh! (Did I make that up?).

A gem, Tom. There\'s something so simple, plain and absolutely truthful about this. I\'ve seen it many times in the faces of partners such as you in in this piece.

Tom, I likes your work....but as a Londoner/Australian there\'s something about, what appears to be a riddle that I can\'t quite get to grips with.
Please don\'t respond now and spoil it for everyone else - just wait until the others have up and left, and the caravan has moved on... then let me know.

It’s a while since I was in Dublin, but I heartily approve of anyone who wears the green on St Patrick’s day. Be proud of your heritage I say. I fly the flag for St George myself. Nothing like Guiness in an Irish pub. It doesn’t travel well. Cheers Tom. Have a good day.

A great moral tale, Tom (and I nearly missed it!) Never have I understood those who remove themselves from immediate reality when out there either via your phones and/or the additional mobile phone...
Some of the streets I\'ve walked down during a long and chequered life needed 360 degree awareness in the here and now.....

I love this telling of your \"aha\" moment, and how you gained a new perspective on the sounds of life. On my early morning walks I\'m privileged to hear the first bird of the morning, and slowly the whole chorus chimes in, it\'s magical, and I understand your joy. Thank you for sharing this wonderful piece, I enjoyed it so very much.

A new world for you, outside your earphones. So many wonderful sounds you could have missed out on. I like to hear birdsong, laughter, children playing, church bells ringing, trains rattling by and buses halting to pick up passengers. So many sounds to enjoy. The earphones would make me feel isolated. Great write Tom. Lots of imagery. Have a good Thursday.

Your walk without earphones turned into quite the adventure! It\'s amazing how a small change can lead to a whole new perspective. I love how you captured the transition from frustration to appreciation as you noticed the sounds and sights around you. It\'s a beautiful reminder to embrace the present moment. Great work!
