You have a warm and touching style - most welcome when the "technical" side of things can sometimes serve to obscure the quality of the content in poetry.

I really enjoyed Gonaways - it connected with something in me. I've moved around more than I'd have liked and would agree that you can never go back to the person you were - the house doesn't exist any more. I really love the way you express that.
Enjoyed A Deadman Speaks to his Daughter - that's how I'd like to imagine it.

Hi Steve and welcome to WOL. The Dead Man Speaks to his Daughter, lovely, very moving, made me think of my dad. Thank you.

Thanks guys
Greg - yes, they are spookily alike. Larkin was often funnier, I gather. While working in the same bookshop I also met Margaret Drabble and Phil Drabble, but I was OK with telling them apart because only one of them was carrying a badger. Margaret.
Winston. It's the hat, yes? Compelling isn't it?

Hi Steve, welcome. Philip Larkin - Eric Morecambe, easily done. I enjoyed Gone Aways and Skiddaw very much.
