I liked the optimism of this piece.
Obviously it is religious, and I'm a confined atheist but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
Cheers Kevin

KJ is spot on - as is usual in his various comments.
Cathartic is correct in many ways - and the challenge of finding the
right words remains as engrossing as ever. That choice is so
often the "conjurer's sleight of hand" in its effect on our senses -
and our memories. .

Thanks to MC And GS for both their comments.
I started this poem by just playing with words but I’ve always been impressed by sense of belonging and patriotism of Americans towards the USA even though they are a nation of immigrants. I’m not sure that’s a feeling expressed towards the UK by British people. It seems to me that in the UK we are more fond of our home nations, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and England than the UK as a whole, hence the thrust of the poem towards England.
The comments about English birdsong was a nod to our heritage from the past when England really did rule a lot of the world.
Thanks to everyone for their comments.

Crazy happens then, but also...
Crazy is when
We make the pain stay
And won't let it go.

Harry Potter is very popular so I have written a poem about him and his world. I have, however, had to leave out a lot as there is so much in the books / films.

Poetry is often cathartic in nature. When it is used in such a way some of the most profound human emotions come into play. Poetry is a means of personal expression, a release of feelings, thoughts, regrets and a voice of dissent in the face of injustice.
I enjoyed this
Thankyou
Keith

KJ - thanks. It was my sister in Brussels who got me checking up
via the local police when she failed to get his answers to either her
weekly phone call or her follow-up email. I had the advantage of
many years service in London's Met. Police to fall back on and
was mentally prepared by the time that knock on my door materialised. But who is EVER quite ready for the reality when it
happens?

Sorry to hear this MC.
And what a horrible way to find out too.
Those moments of not knowing, and waiting for news must have been awful.

Hi J.D - It seems that most of the worlds indigenous people have been alienated and marginalised. Be they Inuit, Tucano, Aborigine to name a few. The future is in the hands of our children. Time alone will tell. T ? ?
