I loved your poem and I'm really pleased it did well. I love the structure of it, too, so rare nowadays to see poems with a proper structure and care taken over the words rather than a splodge of rambling prose dressed up as something it's not.

Very good. And, congratulations on the competition, too. Limericks were about as good as poetry ever got for me, I'm afraid.

I love the idea behind the poem; and I particularly enjoyed the first and third stanza.<br /><br />I went the whole hog this year and entered the National Poetry Competition; which, thankfully, is so enormous that if I don't win anything I can be safe in the knowledge that those that do win tend to be published poets and therefore tend to be wonderful.<br /><br />How long have you been writing poetry?Rachel https://www.blogger.com/profile/11492000349790705046noreply@blogger.com
