I think R.A.D. Stainforth gave one reading better than this - hope to find it again, where he read your poem - had colourful socks in I think, or maybe it is your words that I have kept in my mind! Anyway, he read with a twinge of irony, laissez-faire and mild disdain that just worked like a crescendo - subtly of course!Piratehttp://teawithapirate.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-28310049517379186332013-11-06T10:15:28.487-05:002013-11-06T10:15:28.487-05:00Thank you R.A.D. ...

The way he spoke these words makes me think that this poem actually affected him, on some deeper level than art. The addition of a drink to the ubiquitous cigarette made for more intimate connection with his face. I could nearly taste the mix of wine and smoke.Marchelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201825708442679157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-56461929364658082892013-11-04T14:41:27.169-05:002013-11-04T14:41:27.169-05:00A dark but, excellent write...the last line is pow...A dark but, excellent write...the last line is powerful and can be taken in many different ways...Truedessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09079953417572207613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-26586131416272854592013-11-04T13:15:00.743-05:002013-11-04T13:15:00.743-05:00Thanks Tess thanks everyone and to feel the haar c...Thanks Tess thanks everyone and to feel the haar creeping in across Edinburgh ... unforgettable ... your words cling Tess ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636364949017025470.post-56180924544659322602013-11-04T11:37:31.466-05:002013-11-04T11:37:31.466-05:00By far, this has to be your finest writing.
