Story it is of a life seen in the moment - and the eyes are truly the facilitator as you so well describe Tony. They, being the window to the soul, took you right through that window - and we, the reader, through with you.... Some beautiful phraseology - I loved the reference to Hartnell's dressing of Hepburn's 'Eliza' - all brought to life, as was your own life. Thank you humbly for this intimate picture, allowing us to 'know' the real Tony a little more. Kindest wishes from Fay.
there is an entire life inside this one poem...I am stunned by the simple, yet complex manner you can tell a story and have me captured to the last word...amazing piece...I love it.
Absolutely Brilliant, Tony. I've looked in that mirror on more than one occasion, but have I ever really looked back? ....And, in looking back, looked back...if you know what I mean? ? ? Even though it has an epic feel about it, your inimitable style keeps one hanging on till the last line. It feels like this poured out of you and I bet you feel a lot better for the pouring!
This is such an incredible poem. Superbly written with intense emotion. The 'puzzle' really works well. It is difficult to put a rating on this one, because it just may be the best poem I have ever read. How can others compare with self exposed so honestly and artistically. Jim
