You are the very antithesis of me when it comes to reading poetry. Your unbridled expression and spontaneity are qualities that one should aspire to approach.
Lovely poem, and read with lots of emotion. I used to do L.A.M.D.A exams, speaking of verse and pro's. Have you done these exams? It teaches you to recite with expression, although the listener cannot see facial expression... if that makes sense..? That was a long time ago.
A great mother still lives in the mind of a great poet. The line, "Among your earthiest words the angels stray" is far too moving. I am not sure whether it is possible for a man who has not lost his mother to fully understand this experience. As usual you have thoroughly celebrated another man's thought.

Thanks, bafr1. I had only known of Kavanagh's "Memory of my Father". Love them both. Both so true.
