I find this powerful, poet-e, very Sisyphus like, as Linda points out. The alliteration hammers, really drives home and drives in the raw emotion. Well done !!!

Re: Reflection on Father's day
Ok - I'm definitely losing it............. Indar, my comments just above were meant for you, for your sweet and painful poem.

It will not be pret...

Re: Music
This is awesome, Colm. Everything Linda says, and more. If you have a soul and occasionally acknowledge it, then you know music, you hear music. There is music in everything if we chose to hear it, to listen. Sitting under my apple trees I hear a flute. Love the phrase "violin extraordinary and...
