I loved it too, hearing it, and now, reading and rereading. Extraordinary poem.

I'm an acquaintance of Dave's former wife, Annie Lennox, a frequent guest at the house. But I think this fine sonnet is convincing evidence of how his love for Cally has made Dave a born-again poet.

This one was stunning when read and is so on the page. There's no getting to the bottom of it. A great poem.

I wish I'd been to WCU this year to hear Dave read it. This is a wonderful sonnet. Thanks, Cally!

A totally fabulous sonnet! One that keeps on giving... And I'm particularly pleased at the inclusion of "calligraphy"!
Such beauty and profound emotion. I've been going through some tough times and this just transports me. This is why I love and need poetry.
Thanks for posting this, dear C

There are fine cracks in beauty, and this reads like the lichen that grows in one of those tiny crevices. Peacefully stunning, Dave.
