The Passing of Stumpy Shore

[Leonie]

Ooh, this is that one of yours. One of my all time favourite poems. It doesn't matter how often I read it that last line always gets to me. Even though by now I know it is coming the effect it has on me never lessens, shivers up the spine, a great poem.

I was inspired to write this Leonie after I saw some youths pour a flamable liquid over a sleeping, homeless, veteran and lit him up. [News Report]

They obviously knew nothing about the man and judged him on what they saw. I felt the story needed to be told. Thanks for sharing it with us again.
