turning by Peter Humphreysbeneath
Ben Bulben's
frowning brow
I wondered
if
we would
and how
return to
happiness
once more
as you
walked
without
turning
out
that
door 11/02/2005 Posted on 11/02/2005 Copyright © 2024 Peter Humphreys

Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 11/02/05 at 06:56 PM The Yeats reference alone gives the reader a lot to bring to this poem. Art, spirituality, of course, coming of age. Few and simple words, yet heady and ponderous. Nice writing. |
Posted by Heide McAlister-Bates on 11/03/05 at 10:36 AM Peter - a beautifully written pondering. The answer, or lack thereof, to the "how" sometimes answers the "if" for you, doesn't it? This goes directly to my favourites - thank you for sharing it. |
