Of course, I love the word 'propitiation' -- and I think it is a spot on.

I liked this very much. I'm of the opinion that a true believer is your best bet to reach the summit with. Not a Dr Pangloss who pretends the journey is a sinch.

They got better value and material appreciation from Capt. Sir Tom!!
This brings to mind a certain local socialist councillor - a customer in a pub I used - who held the view that nursing was a "vocation" and should not expect to be rewarded in any real sense of the word.
Clearly, that view is still held among the politicos...to their ongoing
shame.

a biro pen

Thank you for your comment Your Royal Poetess. Fighting!
They steal happiness
as if they think it is the
only one i've got.
They run off with it
only showing the sad fact
they can't grow their own.

It does seem true that our will to act can vary according to time and
circumstance. Heroism - like cowardice - can be a sometime thing.
There can often be that silent insistence
That leads to the path of least resistance. ?

This is one of those poems in which the writer successfully takes the reader into the scenario described. I well remember the days of steam, carriages with corridors and compartments, large waiting rooms with open fires, whistles being blown and the great gusts of steam as trains arrived and departed. Train journeys have no comparison to other forms of travel. A poem well written.
Thank you for this
Keith
