Notice of absence from Tom Dylan
*I WILL BE UNAVAILABLE THE FIRST TWO WEEKS IN OCTOBER 25*
Sorry if there is a delay in responses. Sometimes life gets in the way. As John Lennon said, life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.

Coming back to poetry
is like bumping into that old friend
who always made you smile,
all hugs and laughter,
and making time to stop for a drink,
is like a loved-one phoning to say
the letter from the hospital
says all-clear, see you in six-months,
we can start making plans once again,
is like returning to the North Wales
sea-side town where you holidayed as a child
walking across the sand dunes,
I remember when all this was similes.

Please have a hearty laugh, as the poem brought to mind mind Penny Lane. Didn't find why- perhaps both involved images with details sprinkled in an offhand way which made them feel so real. Needless to say- Loved it!
Thanks so much. And love the Penny lane comparison. Happy Friday!
