Stirred my soul... enjoyed very much Will use it as my next Poem by Another Poet for our 1st & 3rd Thursday group on May 2

From The New Yorker: “He was buried in the churchyard of Twigworth (U.K.), a village near Gloucester, and was described on his gravestone as “Musician and Poet / A lover and maker / Of beauty.” That stone has since been replaced by another, which reads “Composer / Poet of the Severn / and Somme.” When even a man’s gravestones disagree, further digging is required.” ... The only man I've learnt of with the same first name as one of my Uncles.

Enjoyed W.W.'s poem: "Now I face home again, very pleas'd and joyous, / (But where is what I started for so long ago? / And why is it yet unfound?)"... sounds like one of my senior moments

re W.W.: Lol! Mine too, very specially the second part of the citation.

"Going to heaven! I don't know when," - light verses on a weighty subject (Ai!). Enjoyed!
