"Men who's hands grew soft as feathers, just to touch you" - I could never understand how my Father as such a strong man could hold a pigeon in such a delicate embrace. I was always afraid of hurting them.
Completely blown away by that! I could barely hear it and didn't know if it was because of my hearing or due to the quality of the sound/ volume. Ergo, I had my ears fully open and on alert and listened with my heart which seems like a decent trade off. You could have heard the proverbial pin drop!!!!!!! I haven't been so attentive to anybody on stage since watching and listening to Bruce Springsteen. A credit to the Yam yams !
Frank Skinner had me in tears over his reading of it and now the author has me welling up again. her sweet voice.
makes me cry it does - stopped dead the first time i heard it...
Frank Skinner brought me here and I'm glad he did
Same here. This is just wonderful.

And I'm another who was led here by the passion of Frank Skinner, so grateful 🐦

Does anyone know a website where poems are discussed and their structure and rethorical devices analyzed?. Thanks for any help.
So good
She has an amazing magnetic quality about her! I'll have to check out the poem in print. To see if I can understand the dialect then.
