Epic Comments

commentary is irritating, she stops at the end of every line, losing the sense of the piece

An interesting sonnet with an interesting point—who decides what’s really important? A good reminder of the finite or myopic view we humans have of history and of everything. -GK

nice poem....................

Epics come from mundane happenings, 'I made the Iliad from such'

Absolutely an Epic Poem after Till Homer's ghost came whispering to my mind.....PK´s mind. WOW! True epic when Homer appears in one´s mind, hete the poet´s mind. Tremendously epically told. Thank you for sharing. A myriad of 10´s for this Classic Poem Of The Day. Congratulations to the great family of PK in the USA as well as in Dublin. GBU All. Amen

Indeed as the poet says from the trivial things of life great truths are expressed by Epics by Homer and so on!

Indeed 'Gods do make their own importance'. This poem perfectly capures the microcosim whitin the macrocosim. After all we are all our own gods. I knew the Duffy's. They damned my soul too.

Yes, 'the Munich bother' indicates the farmers' attitude to world- shaking affairs compared to their own! But the poet's snap judgement is then tempered by his knowledge of the classics; these men can also be viewed as local gods, who 'make their own judgement.' Mutual forgiveness of each vice Such are the gates of paradise (William Blake) A fine poem that is also an exercise in tolerance.

this poem was written by P K. to explain how important it was to the people esp from a country area in old ireland, the importance of that small bit of land, and the row that mite take place between two neighbours over it. there might be a war going on in europe or whereever but the row over the small plot of land in monaghan had more significance than world war 2 to the people in that country area
