It seems

from the ABC set Poetry - The Recollected

It seems I need
another broken heart
to mend the last one
that fell apart

And the grief is not
your not loving me
but why I don’t love you
as I did at the start

Very nicely put and so, so true.

I've read lots of your poems now and worry that I'm not nearly qualified to comment in any great detail, but have to say I really like all of them - a lot. I think they're careful and clever, but also very moving.

Thank you. Oh, imagine if you did need to be 'qualified' to appreciate or comment on poetry. It's a romantic view, but poetry is rarely an academic endeavour. And anyway you're a poet too (and building a fine body of work).
