Mr Young, I was mesmerised by the waves of your words, both the written and the visual. The tabulation was well worth the effect.

And the pace is great too, xx

Hi Jeremy, I have nothing intelligent to comment, but just want to let you know I enjoyed reading this, as with your others. It painted a very clear picture for me - and I am completely ignorant of what warham fort is, but googled it after reading this and was thrilled that I had 'gotten it'. Thanks :)

Welcome to Write Out Loud, Myriam. Enjoyed your striking example of a specular, 'mirror' poem.

Nice song-like rhythm and good rhyming in your message. One small caveat:
why not include "a" before choice to keep the rhythm in
line 7?

Comment is about I Used to be Defensive (blog)

An intriguing mixture of the mundane and the mystical in
an off-kilter rhyme pattern. Who is calling - and why the
feeling of certain cessation in more than one respect?
We are left to ponder - like all good mysteries.
Alfred Hitchcock would get this!

Well done! As a Devonian who recalls a similar sort of

your personal satisfaction. Nice one.

Thanks JC - a favourite short poem is Housman's
"Loveliest of Trees" - and I stay with the belief that
for some things "less is more". Neither trees nor flowers are in need of flowery phraseology.

the cooling, damp leather of the couch, soaked in my history, always giving me back the scents of familiarity.

the dirt collecting in the microscopic cracks, stubble, and folds of books; the filth that lives in gypsum rock walls. I've never really been one for detail. I've never really sought to be 100% clean because of how much life is in the dirt. As far as we know, the afterlife is in the ground. Transcendence is not fighting the soil as you return what you owe to it.

blurred lines, like a kaleidoscope -- no matter how much closer you look, there are fractals upon fractals. the line is still blurry under a microscope, so it's better to accept that some things are a little bit right and a little bit wrong simultaneously. then you can believe that this is true for all things, equidistant from true and false at their ideological core. such is beauty; such is the crucial, human flaw that drives everything.

when things break just a little bit, but are still useful.

the green that returns every year, no matter how stubbornly I cling to the idea of being miserable forever. when the sun hits those leaves, you can almost breathe it in, saturating yourself in the fleeting desperate cycle of live that is living in this clime.

the feeling of pens on envelopes that will never be delivered.
the thrill of when they go missing -- maybe they will, then.

reading the velveteen rabbit in everything else.

laughing in that ugly, uncontrolled, unphotogenic way. The kind that makes you hurt and tear up and becomes increasingly precious. The weight of years may fold up our skin and steal our strength, but that laughter has an exponential potency.

going hungry, then eating a good meal, drinking a good drink.

the company of perfect strangers: rediscovering old friends.

all of this is important to me.
