Notice of absence from Tom Dylan
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.
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.
Gone too soon,
taken by a knock-out blow
no-one saw coming.
Champion and hero in the ring,
and on the rainy Northern streets.
Today those pavements
he would run down,
shadow-boxing,
taking on the world
and winning,
for himself
and for us all,
champion and man of the people,
those pavements are lined with mourners
dressed in black and the sky blue
of his beloved football team.
They applaud with tears in their eyes,
and chant his name
one last time.

I can't see any sense in it, even if it's in the name of 'sport' - two men, or two women, punching each other! Doh! Sounds nuttier than my adventures with Fido. lol. Yet sad when it comes to this, as in your fine poem.
Thanks, Orchi. Appreciate your comments.
