First of all, thank you for accepting two of my poems for this Saturday. :) I feel much honoured.

makes me think that I should do a round up at the end of 2016 of which poems and poets prove the most loved of this particular group of readers!)
Yes, please, that would be very helpful :)

It is TSP who is honoured :)

I like the energy of the Hugo- and how you describe something I have often felt = that a poem can lead to another one and to another set of thoughts.

Thank you for sharing

:) Obviously I took one of the lines as title to a LesMis fic ;)

But I took the afternoon to browse your poetry tag and came across John Maynard by Fontane. Amaraal suggested that. Maybe one day you can include Die Brück' am Tay which is often regarded as the twin piece to John Maynard? As the title suggests, the poem is about the collapse of Tay Bridge in 1879.
