Revisionism Poem by Tony Miller

Nice one, TM. I was inspired by this one to write my Opportune Moment. Yours is calmer, IMO.

I agree with Vincent. Also, you've reminded me of a scene from the movie 'Gattaca'. A very honest piece, Tony. Thanks!

This one brought back many memories and pricked a few redundant emotions. I liked this one a lot, I liked the way you reflected on a memory and then used that memory, twisting it slightly in order to make sense of the silence/ drifting apart that had occurred with the brother. Well this is how I read it! ! ! ! Some nice lines in this one, 'Till a wave came along, the prince of Them' I also really felt the last stanza. You have kept things simple, which for me is the hardest task of an evocative poem; it is short yet remains within my mind. The little images that sit between the thoughts are great “I wonder Over a brooding beer'..... if he wished..... it enables the reader to see a little extra, to imagine a little more, far more effective than simply stating 'I wonder if he wished he’d let me die' it has taken you just 62 words to say what others cannot with a novel. Best regards Vincent
