An extraordinary and original poem, Tom. I really enjoyed it. The 'dash of milk' rounds things off nicely, so to speak.

Thanks, MC. This was a bugger to write, especially the discipline of dragging down the assonantal rhymes of one verse to become the consonantal rhymes of the next.

A romantic and chilling piece of masterwork. Quite remarkable writing, pure inspiration allied to a desperation.

Thank you Stephen.

U.S. Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire Ambassador Morgenthau, 1919

When the Turkish authorities gave the orders for these deportations, they were merely giving the death warrant to a whole race; they understood this well, and, in their conversations with me, they made no particular attempt to conceal the fact. . . . I am confident that the whole history of the human race contains no such horrible episode as this. The great massacres and persecutions of the past seem almost insignificant when compared to the sufferings of the Armenian race in 1915.

Thank you for your kind comment, Greg. My two winter visits to Kyiv in the late 90s have convinced me that winter in Ukraine is no joke, even when the power is working as normal. Let's all hope that things don't get too bad for these brave people.

The smiths, nice. Suedehead is very nice to. Morrissey sits up high

Your continuing compassion towards those suffering in Ukraine at the hands of the Russians, expressed in these poems, is an example to us all, Steve. This is a particularly fine one.

I went for a walk the other day along an avenue of trees. Further along the path the colour of the leaves made it look as if someone had turned on a floodlight, it was beautiful.

This is a great poem and it's about a serious issue, as you say John. Too many half-wits on the road. Perhaps technology is the only way to slow them down.

Enjoyed your book, by the way.
