The devil is the personification of evil to whom you have rightly dishonoured. We must never lose sight of who lies behind the so called innocent fun at this time of year.
A good poem and well executed .Keith

Its ironic that so many funny men live tragi-comic lives. I can imagine the fear of constantly having to make people laugh must be the most daunting of all for performers. Wonderfully interpreted. Thanks

I like the Spike Milligan-esqe absurdity of this, but to my mind 4 line stanzas work better [found myself editing as I read]. Good stuff.

Original item by David Lindsay
Really clever and extremely evocative writing, also the contrast between autumn, the end of summer and the beginning of the student's new life just starting, very poignant.
Loved 'autumn's rusty fingers, yellow leaves upon ancient stone, gloomy rented rooms, fog lit by orange street light, and letting go of all my leaves,' in particular. Really paints a word picture.

Stephen,
Reading this reminded me of the rhythm of a nursery rhyme as it seemed to trot along. The poem also had the ability to conjure up the scene exactly as you were describing it.
A clever piece of work
Thank you for this

Thanks to Philipos, Greg, Rose, Brian and John for the much appreciated comments, and to everyone for the likes.
Yes, the decline of the funny man or woman (or indeed any performer) can be very hard to watch. Sometimes comedians simply go out of fashion but often their own personal weaknesses hasten their demise. One thinks of the sad end of the likes of Tony Hancock or Peter Cook. It would be nice if genius could reward such people better.

This is how the ancient philosophers communicated, they debated and respected their differences......it would be a dull world if we all agreed, share this poem widely!

This poem has some amazing lines, the opening is fantastic and "We ran through those streets as if we owned them" particularly resonated with me - youthful abandon!

A most enjoyable essay through the past and the hope that youth provides. I particularly like the first and last paragraphs - like
satisfying poetical book-ends!

Thanks for your detailed and very knowledgeable response to this review, MC. Glad that it attracted your interest. Wendy Klein does include a poem, 'Honest Abe and the Myth Kitty', that refers to the point you make about the Lincoln administration. I probably should have mentioned that as well - well, at least I have now.
