All the while I was thinking

Posted on Mon, 01 Jun 2015

All the while I was thinking who was he, why was he at the mirror- so you had me hooked from the start! Touching moment with 'but there hadn't been a son'...found that emotive. The ageing character works well with the decline of his trade.

Otherworldly, dark, mysterious and sad. It feels like a psychological description of a 'place' to me. A dark place in which he is stuck. I love how your work leaves the reader hanging and provokes thought!

Really effective imagery achieved especially in stanza five - ice-lolly milk breath scatters dandelion clocks...toddler chasing dollar bills...flickering phones..

I've seen something new in it every time I've read it- brilliant...

Beautifully composed. I felt like an observer of nature reading this; it's ever-changing birth and death.
