This is the absolute greatest poem ever written on the cafe. I can't say enough about the work Or the delivery. It is the kind of thing we all read and say God why couldn't i write that? It's stunning beautiful .The depth of the words and story have no peer. As I have always said there is but one Eiffel Tower one Niagra Falls One God and One Paget! !
Tate is right! THIS IS absolutely "the greatest poem", especially the way you read it! AMAZING...I had butterflies in the pit of my stomach as I sat on the edge of my seat listening and reading along...The intensity of this story is truly exciting! SUCH A TALENTED WRITER YOU ARE!
David, you have another fantastic write..I did not expect that kind of ending..but as always you managet o hold my interest util the end and again get a chuckle out of me..which I need lately..love Kathie
I felt myself be enthralled in this story of perseverance, darkness, powerful imagery, and the characters you masterfully create and give life to. Your poems can take you into a new dimension, i think they would translate well into short films. I think a lot of people can relate to Lightning Jack in their own ways.
A wonderful poem. I can't help but admire Lightening Jack--though he was not an admirable character. The sound effect of the storm as background for the reading were very effective; gave the poem an erie mood.
Lol! I can't but hear it every hour
Its so marvelous!
I will work day and night for the rest of my life if it takes to write narrative gothic poetry like that :D :D
It occurs to me David that the more you speak of death, the greater is the attention you give to man's immortal nature. Perhaps its because the man is the lightning rod that spares the ordinary folk from seeing too much. Oops, is it going to rain again?
