Fantastic - the more I learn about writing poetry, the more I appreciate your poems, alliteration, assonance, feminine rhyming, etc. Makes me want to revisit these over and over.

I really appreciate that from such a great writer! You have a brilliant way of moving ordinary things into the realm of the sacred - I love the story about Granny's apron.

I've never heard of feminine rhyming before so I've learned something! I tend to go for the classical poets and good sing writers like Peter Gabriel or Maynard James Keenan so that one's probably a bit more instinctive than intentional.

Thanks again for your kind comments

You've got good instincts as a poet then! Looking forward to seeing what you produce next.
