Like a piece

I like this a lot. Very clever.

Again a wonderfully expressive poem.

Thank you, Seashore and Jenny for your comments. I'm glad you liked it. It was partly inspired by seeing an interview with the artist Alison Lapper on television.

Thanks for explaining the inspiration - I like to know these things! Alison Lapper has been quite high profile in recent years particularly since the statue in Trafalgar Square.

Anyway your piece worked for me.
