A Response To Dylan Thomas Poem by Valerie Dohren

A brief, but potent repudiation of Dylan. I wish to go your way.Bravo

I liked this one and that you have replied to the poet, a habit of mine sometimes.

Quite a few of my poems are rebuttals or responses so it doesn't surprise me that others like yourself do as well; and a great response it is at that.

Legatees of poetry earn the right to put poems in converse. drb

It's all rage, rage, rave and fight on the Malevolent. What's the name of your ship? Dylan would smile, and probably counter!

An apt and wise response to a marevellous poem.. Thank you for sharing - :)

To answer the great Dylan Thomas, one equally as great. I do understand Valerie and for a broken heart nothing is ever the same. Be well my friend.

I just think it's so clever, and original too. I immediately had the thought, how would Richard Burton, a devotee of Thomas have responded? ? ? He was not clever enough with all his rhetoric to compose anything so brilliant, and he for ever claimed he understood Thomas so well... Nice one Val...

I just returned from Laughne, Dylan Thomas' birthplace. Beautiful country. This is an excellent riposte to Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night Good touch of Welsh melancholy. .

Dear old Dylan would congratulate you on this, and then suggest a visit to the pub!
