ludic means playtful (sort of) and to frot is to rub nasties for future reference

Thanks folks. Yeah - I learned the meaning of ludic during A- Levels and fell in love with the term. Frot was a later vocab addition, but nonetheless, a handy euphimism and I reckon it's got a comical sound/shape as a word. "I have a room for life at the Home for the Chronically Groovy."

'Pink shapes elf-heel clicking into blue; white, like a geometric worm accepts mustard-yellow; tiny adders of purple rubbing noses with grass asps.' Wow, reading that bit of the poem out loud is rather awe inspiring Bright Eyes. I tried it with a sneaky accent, which made it sound even better! I do not know why, but I kept wanting stanzas. I know that not having them fits better with the concept, but reading straight on from 'stupidly surprised by their own six of clubs.' to 'The conjuring you do' Nevertheless, I am willing to be proved wrong. I also not sure about 'open to the winds' feels overused. Not sure you need 'in your work' I reckon it might interrupt the line a bit. Apologies, I very rarely put forward any crit on any poems, it is a mine field and so subjective. However, in this case, I really enjoyed reading it, wanted to let you know. Span
