My favorite poem, loved the discussion

👍

[@Starscreamlive]

This poem is a staple every year, no matter what grade or class I teach. Hearing Dylan read the poem himself gives me goosebumps.

[@TheCodeXCantina]

Same thing Krypto was telling me!

[@jonlittle5032]

"Good men" is not about how you define good, it is about a man who sees they have done good but, facing death, see so much more good they could have done. It is not about relativistic morality, but about ones' own life.

[@OccamsRazor393]

Love that poem!

[@TheCodeXCantina]

It's a classic!

[@bighardbooks770]

One of my favorite villanelles (Bishop's "One Art" is my favorite). My son's middle name is Dylan Thomas. 🎉 Interesting interpretation upon the _father_ as Death, Krypto ☠️💀☠️

We all have those weaknesses

[@KDbooks]

Dylan, pronounced Dull-en? I can confirm that’s I have NEVER encountered that pronunciation before

[@TheCodeXCantina]

Maybe my dirty Yankee accent isn't pronouncing it correctly. Read about it here: www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofWales/The-Life-of-Dylan-Thomas/

[@Pamela-wg4lx]

Seriously don’t bother to put them down… go on
That simple
