Well done with this - a super poem!

It made me tingle as I read it. I enjoyed some of the images - words like raindrops on a windowpane, and in the 'tinder dry' days of Childhood.

An excellent read, I'm not surprised you won the title.

I especially loved the line "Conferences of black umbrellas"

Keep up the good work.

Tommy. Congratulations. Lovely write. Loved the words "when the fair chance of clear skies and …". We always remember words - plucked from the mouths of youth - too wise at the time. Margaret

Well done Tommy. Great poem. We all have to go sometime. It's just as well we don't know when.

This has so much depth and quality of substance - rich in connection between present and past, and how those in the past saw their present and future through the wise words of their loved one, now gone. Beautiful, stark language.
