If Canada ever selects a perennial poet laureate it will be Cohen.
Hi Paul, I was reviewing this poem today and note that I may not have replied to your message, sorry 'bout that if I haven't. I'm happy that you enjoyed it.
And not that he wouldn't deserve it. In his early adulthood I admired the beauty of his lyrics. As an older man, I admire how he picked himself up, and went back to work after having been totally fleeced by a formerly trusted manager. Such betrayal may have caused the downing of a few beers, a few bottles of wine.....but he didn't allow himself to fall into the role of a victim, and for that, he's back on a pedestal. A truly great Soul!
