When Doves Cry Poetry Contest N/A 8/8/23

When Doves Cry Along a seaside promenade in Bray it was on the radio You loved it there This is where you’ll come to lie Spiritual journey comes to rest Activism, and socio-political views Social justice Your voice brings me sadness as I played a song for you I heard the doves cry A torn photo A public letter in the news Just want to say that Nothing Compares 2 U

Enchanted by the ethereal resonance of Sinead's voice and the profound depth of her words, the essence of her being was skillfully encapsulated within the poetic realm you crafted. A poignant tapestry of beauty and yearning, your masterful interweaving of words and imagery showcases an artist's profound understanding of the human condition, leaving a lingering melancholy in its wake. Best wishes for the contest

A unique voice indeed, Laasad. May she rest now for eternity in peace and in stillness. She is remembered through her songs. I'm most pleased that I was able to do her at least an assemblance of justice. Thank you, dear poet!

A heartfelt tribute to Sinead, yes they finally laid her to rest yesterday, a huge turnout and lots of tears in Bray, and further afield, an admirable and pertinent write, cheers David

A performer of turbulent depth and rightous outrage in a musical arena of gloss comforting and manufactured predictability. Thank you, David, you may have been nearby the emotional event.
