Tinker Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Well Bren, I am not going to try and understand that one but it made me laugh. Loved the slide show. I can only assume the lovely Japanese woman in the photos with the stunning younger version of herself are your wife and daughter. Nice to connect family to the poet. It appears one of the purposes of your return to Ireland was to attend a funeral. I am sorry. But the reunion with family and friends was clearly filled with love and good cheer.

tonyv Posted September 5, 2010 Share Posted September 5, 2010 I feel like I'm reading/listening to a foreign language, lol. The forceful last line made me smile. Enjoyed the slide show immensely. Arigato. Welcome back, Brendan! Tony Quote Here is a link to an index of my works on this site: tonyv's Member Archive topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandra Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Wow, Bren. I was almost to read this poem in some some different way :), while looking the meaning of F - in the title :). It's interesting this poem because it has some reflection from your spirit. Thanks for sharing the pic's also.

JoelJosol Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Bren, first, I had to figure out which meaning of transposal was meant in your poem. When I finally came back to your poem, I kept seeing 'F' for all the 'D' as a result. Whether that was intentional in the title or not, the reader can only guess :-) Quote "Words are not things, and yet they are not non-things either." - Ann Lauterbach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
