I find that layout makes me "search?" or work for the next word- and as a result, pay more attention to what I'm reading...........?

What a disconnection (cognitive dissonance?) between the horrors we know are taking place, and mindless "entertainment" all via our screens at the same time.

There is a saying, that if you truly love someone, you must be prepared to "let go".
Difficult but true?

A definite whiff of Betjeman about this, Trevor, although perhaps he would avoided the climbing. It reads so well. A lovely poem.

I would guess that the premise is flawed, Holden. But the poem is good!

Thank you, Kevin. Life is certainly scary if you are in the wrong country at the wrong time at the moment.
And thanks to Holden, K Lynn, Jeronth, John C, Hélène, New Shoes and KJ.

Tá fáilte romhat, Uilleam, Yes the pubs can be distracting. But there are some hours when they're not open, so next time, take time to look around. This poem's about Muckish mountain which is in Donegal (in the top left-hand corner of Ireland! 😉)
And thanks John. It is indeed a timeless landscape that I enjoy every time I return. It sort of sucks the world's troubles out of your bones.

We've been to Ireland twice, but sadly didn't do any proper "hiking"-accosted as we were by pubs which had a habit of jumping out in front of us!

I bought your poetry book, pomegranate mythology I loved it. My favourite poem was four leaf clover lover. You have that sort of wild and mythic Morrison type trance of words.

Comment is about Remember When...... (blog)
Original item by New Shoes
Thank you for the thoughtful comments, Uilleam, Graham and Greg.
I have great admiration for those who fight in wars, whichever side they are on, because it must be terrifying and I doubt whether I could do it.
I could have said:
'They fight like lions at the front' instead of 'They squirm in trenches at the front'.
I do not believe that the average conscripted soldier wants to kill his counterpart on the other side, although indoctrination (or macabre incentives, in the case of released prisoners) may lead him to believe that he does. As you say, Graham, wars achieve nothing except destruction of all kinds, which is why Russia's invasion of Ukraine is such a pernicious and barbaric act.
Yes, there are heroes and heroes, but there is a tendency for society to change back to its old ways when the fighting is done. I hope that the post-war reconstruction of Ukraine will not be an opportunity to line too many pockets.
Thanks again to you all, and to Adam and Frederick for liking.

I agree, Mike. I've not read many, if any, poems about the end of lockdown. It's as though we can't believe it's over. It is though, one way or another.
