too much rhyme and rhythm???

Posted on Sun, 14 Jan 2018

too much rhyme and rhythm??? There is a feeling of joy to be had JUST from the rhyme and rhythm when it's as good as this. "A city of gutters with rats running deep." is perfect

Posted on Thu, 11 Jan 2018

the way you have made the first part like small steps, words broken by commas, and end with the release of a flowing sentence is wonderful. I love the last two lines

Maybe the dogs are interested

Posted on Wed, 10 Jan 2018

Where you jolt from boring
