[@sofiar611]

"Sculpting the air with someone else's words" -- beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

[@ariannefowler455]

Wonderful. Thank you.

[@TimeTravelReads]

Thank you. I hadn't heard this poem. It expressed the pain of death and loss of loved ones eloquently.

[@jonathanbrewer7072]

The perversity of death expressed in poetry. You are never alone , Robert.

Thank you, Bob. This was beautiful. I'm so glad you are jumping into Poetry Thursday.

Thanks, Pat. I'm looking forward to this tag. There's a lot of powerful and beautiful work out there that needs attention.

@@RobertGReaderofBooks-r3p absolutely! I’ve been doing these episodes on Thursdays since I started my channel. I either focus on a specific poet or on poetry related to a reading event that’s going on or on poetry surrounding a particular theme. It’s been fun.

my GCSE English teacher was a Welsh lady called Mrs Barry, who taught us Dylan Thomas and read his poetry with a beautiful lilting Welsh accent. I will never forget it, and how quietly proud she was of Dylan Thomas

[@RobertGReaderofBooks-r3p]

This must have been a wonderful experience.

[@theaelizabet]

Lovely. Thank you.

[@jonathanbrewer7072]

Delighted to hear you like poetry. An important genre. May I recommend WH Auden's beautiful, moving Funeral Blues ? ( Especially as read by Tom O Bedlam ). Henry Vaughan's metaphysical poem Peace changed my life. Read accompanied by Nimrod from the Enigma variations. Oh my. Thank you, Robert.

Thank you. Have you heard Michael Sheen recite "Do not go gentle..."? It's on YT. Magnificent, so powerful and highly recommended. Kevin

[@RobertGReaderofBooks-r3p]

i've not heard this, but I'm sure it is as powerful as you've described,
