Time for a change I thought. So, I've reverted to my original user name from another site and another era. I've cleared out all the old work and I'm starting again with a blank page.
Wonderful read. Insanely jealous of your ability.

This was an absolutely wonderful read. From the opening lines I had total confidence that the writing would not let me down, that it would stay crisp and sharp and the coherence would be maintained. It is as if you have found the secret of...

I do like this...though I guessed early on where it was going to lead me, it didn't detract from the poem. The technical language of the imagery is nicely at odds with the actual subject. This creates a tension that brings the poem alive.

This resonated (second time I've used that word today and it's only 9.30)
