Hi David, I’m glad you like the idea of my poem and much appreciate your response of depth. There does seem to be a lot of people in this world suffering from self delusion. I think it is a problem we will always have. Once again thank you for your comments.

Thank you Rachel for your like, much appreciate.

All the best des

Hi stu, it was not my intention at all, but now you pointed it out it really does ring of LOTR and smeagol. Such an interesting character, fits the poem well I think. Thanks for your comments much appreciated. Thanks to Brian and Hart of lead for the likes.

All the best Des

probably not your intention at all des but this really reminds me of some of smeagols actions and words in LOTR's. which can only mean its well written and transportative.
