A few continue to be outraged. Others shrug. They've come to consider it business as usual.

Agreed. The heart news is, well, "heartening.". The little invaders will be repulsed eventually.

You know that you are a poet, and you write poetry. Youve established a fairly satisfactory life. Imagine how much worse off you'd be if you knew you were a poet, but you devoted your life to accountancy or logistics.

If I work at it, I can remember some of my childhood pleasures. It would be nice to (be able to) revisit them. I also have memories of childhood miseries. I don't have to revisit them. They've remained close at hand.

A considered, sincere response always is appreciated. One which seems mostly intended to draw attention to the commenter isn't.

An interesting notion, a consideration of mortality, too?

Forgive me, but I think that this is a pleasantly flinty poem.

| Old Song
|
|
2025-05-10
I used to modify song lyrics for my kids all the time. One example: "When the moon hits your eye, you'll go blind and you'll die." With "America," I replaced "God shed His grace on thee" with "Good sheds don't come for free."

Nicely done. "Rivulet of sound" is a fine description, and, yes, we need the birds.

There's an off-putting tick-tock facility to this poem, as is the case with nearly all British poetry written between 1650 and 1900.
