Hi Liam,
Thank you for sharing this with us. I not not sure it
works, though. The listing of the items doesn't seem
to get 'off the ground'. Which poets are you reading
at the moment? What were you trying to achieve here.
Have you read the Tudor poet John Skelton? Let me know
what you are aiming at in your poetry.
Regards,
Chris Neenan
