Your Poem on Pavarotti

[nancy_m]

What a gorgeous poem. To be honest, I have never been an opera fan until quite recently when I heard by chance as I was changing channels the voice of Paul Potts, the British Opera Singer and my skin started to crawl with a thousand goose bumps. I have never experienced this with music before. With word yes, but not a voice. I find it quite amazing that just as Pavarotti has left us, that Paul has entered the scene. If the other singers ever come to Australia, I'll be going.

What I liked about your poem is the cleverness of the title. At first I didn't pick it up until I realised whom your poem was dedicated to. It was a pleasant surprise. In a short space of time, you enmeshed his music with the landscape, giving it a life that breathes and lives on. Somehow, I don't think he'll be silenced. He lives on in all the millions of people whom he gave joy through the gift of his voice. What a pity, I never discovered his talent before he passed away- Ah, but there are the records/CD's- he lives on.....
