The website Every Day Poets has today published my poem
Farewell Sweet Molly Brown written to commemorate the fallen of the First World
War in particular but also those lost in subsequent conflicts. I'm
usually a writer of short stories, not a poet, but this poem entered my dreams
and demanded that I write it down. I don't pretend to understand how that
process works or what, if anything, it means. But that is quite simply how it
happened.
My poem is not something to be 'liked' but if the words
should move you, please consider donating whatever you think fit to the RoyalBritish Legion Poppy Appeal, Help for Heroes, or any similar fund that honours
the memory of those killed, or supports those injured, in conflict and their
dependants.
If in making your donation you should mention 'Sweet Molly
Brown' alongside any personal dedication, the acknowledgement will be most welcome.
Thank you.
