I'm going to vote Lion on this one, David. Not because I don't think the
issues should be debated but mostly because this is a poetry forum.
Anyway, I'm going to presumptuously suggest a new thread -- Religious
Poetry -- and post Tom Leonard's "The Good Thief". I'll also post,
separately, a Spoiler, for those few non-Glasgwegians on the list (are there
any?) which I do because I'm A Truly Nice Person <g>.
(I'd suggest that anyone who hasn't come on the poem before should read the
text first, then the Spoiler. Assuming anyone wants to, of course.)
I'd personally be interested to see examples of what listmembers might
consider contemporary poems falling into this catagory.
Currently: Lions One, Christians One
