Well, if anyone wrote a perfect poem it would be Dylan Thomas. (Or Gerard Manley Hopkins!)

Nice poem indeed, Philip, and a thoughtful dedication. I stood and shouted the whole thing aloud in a welter of tears and snot that's been building up all day. Frightened the poor bloody dog shitless. Did the trick, though. Thanks.

I am weary of sophisticates who denounce Dylan. He will outlast them.
Under Milk Wood is as fresh as the day it was written.

That's what you have to do with DT's poems - bellow them out loud. Apparently his father used to declaim Shakespeare to him and it shows.
