The Wedding of Jenny McGill

Reviews

Incredibly touching poem David and so eloquently read in person. I've heard and read most of the stories, happy and sad about the two divided traditions within Northern Ireland but this one is up there with the best ballads, songs and poems I can think off.

You show how love can conquer even the most extreme sectarian divide, and sadly how the bigoted refuse to allow this to happen, by taking their murderous intent even into a holy place during wedlock !

And indeed, as if the gravity of their actions were not serious enough, the pathetic scene afterwards when the bodies are separated, destined to lie apart within their own religious sanctuaries!

Gratifying that the great Redeemer, uplifts them in spiritual unison away from the anarchy below to be together for all eternity!

Astounding effort, so glad I came across this remarkable piece of poetry ! 'The pen can do so much more than the sword' !

Oh David what a beautiful tale of Love. It was nice to hear it read. It added such emphasis making it very special. Like a modern day Romeo and Juliet.

i like how you narrate this poem. you are a great story-teller it's tragic how people killl in the name of religion. the tale was very sad and rather depressing.

Wow, this is one of the poems I have enjoyed most in my life.
Such a wonderful, sad story and told with rhyming at such ease.

"When red, red roses bloomed once more on the dress of Jenny McGill"
and
"The Lord in the stained glass window wept"

Such beautiful lines =D

This was the first video I've watched of someone actually reading their poem. Unique touch, really.

Much enjoyed, much appreciated

Beautifully sad and touching piece of work. The format is different, but I like it, as it is always wonderful to hear a poet read their own work.
