I feel your pain my man

Posted on Sun, 27 Aug 2023

I feel your pain my man
because the buns won't scan;
for me it's even worse:
I cannot scan my verse.

I much enjoyed your heartfelt jeremiad, Turlough.

Cheers, Luigi

You make writing about nature

Posted on Tue, 25 Jan 2022

You have made the writing of nature and the elements - and related symbolism - your speciality, Rachel, and you do it superbly. This poem is no exception.
I have only a small query; shouldn't this line " the way the sea is always taking...
