Thanks for the very kind comments, Graham. As you may have already guessed, the two sections of this poem were written three years apart.

You always get so much clever narrative in your work Greg. I'm a big fan. Wish I was there, so much inspiration. Rich words.

It's strange how one links places to major events, Greg. I remember that we were on holiday in Brittany when Gorbachev left. Loved the detail and descriptive quality of this one.

I liked the mingling of the personal and local with the historical and international. Fine poem, Greg. 😊
