ANCESTOR WORSHIP
There is one essential requirement for being an ancestor
You must be dead
But if you’re dead, you can’t be anything, because you’re not there
You don’t exist
Some would say…

I very enjoy this one in particular

Thank you, Yassine. Poem sent. Hope you got it.
Have seen you at the Fringe: intellectual, profound, rhythmic. Touching!
A Highlight at this Festival. Thank you!
Thank you, Konstantin
Yes, my fellow poet, your poem and your tone and style of your recitation are very very good and charming. I am so pleased to listen to you. I do hope, in future, we will meet together in a place.
Thank you, Mahbub
Awesome
Thank you!
for wat tyler.
I saw David at the Morecambe Fringe this month. As a poet, I was impressed. Not just the sheer scale of work, and his remembering it all, but I thought it walked the line well between didacticism and ‘lyricism’ (for example). Often, if I felt a piece start to approach preaching, a well-observed simile – or similar such device – lifted me up further, and kept me in the poem.
Talking about the subject matter, I am glad I went, despite not always fully agreeing with everything. It was refreshing to hear about non-agreement as normal (something we might tend to forget, as the spectre of Cancel Culture looms). Anyway, aside from ‘agreement’, I had my perspective widened, and learned something.
In summary, thank you David. Keep up the good work 🙂
Thank you, Martin
Today I wanted to find out more information about you. I went to your site and found a lot of interesting things. I admire your inexhaustible vitality! You can be a worthy role model. Respect.
Thank you, Elena
