Great that this appeared on National Poetry Day - it is a great poem. I'm doing a course at the moment on 'creative non-fiction' - which turns out to be a lot more complicated than making 'what I did on my holidays' more interesting - and this...

I'm hoping this is part of something longer, because I found it very frustrating that it ends there! Characters are nicely set up and we really want to know how this situation is going to pan out.
