Having submitted the poem you can still alter it by using the same method or so I think. I have never experienced any problem with altering a draft or the end product.
Happy New Year

They're all there John. Scroll through January of any given year, and all the other months are in the menu at the bottom of the page.

I think you have to scroll through January posts to get to the other months.

You are quite right of course. Figuratively speaking many need a reason to re-start ideas, habits, traditions and the like without asking why they are habits in the first place.

no, i am not talking about while I am writing the poem.
I know how to do that.
I am talking about AFTER you have already submitted the poem.
How do you get back to it?
I can never find it.

Thank you, Ray. I appreciate your kind comment. I don't think I quite capture the unsaid and implied in the way you did in your poem. As I said, the Suffolk coast has always held a special magic for me, especially when the weather is cold and windy, as it almost always was!

I'm sure there's a flaw in this argument, John, but it's not the time to be thinking about it.

The logic seems irrefutable! 😗
Not all calls can be entrancing
That feature balls with painful dancing
And feet that overstep the mark
To find an unwelcome place to park!

Thanks for reading Stephen, it is rather strange to have two adjacent about Suffolk, but that's quite ok by me! I moved the first line from the body of the poem to catch the attention as it were. Greg advised to start off with a favourite line, so I tend to use that!
Quintessentially English thought Graham, thank you for the observation.
Greg, interestingly as with your coincidence I have an 80s book of some of his stories. They're not all in there. I'd love to get hold of the ones I havn't read, it's a tricky one . I love the comparison. The inspiration for this poem was Borley Rectory,
the subject of several books I acquired.
Thanks for the likes, John, Kishore, Stephen, Holden and Jimakos

Spoken from the heart out of despair. Many of us have been similarly affected. Perseverance and faith are the only ways forward. Don't give in.
Take good care.

Bracing and dramatic flavour of the Suffolk coast with its associated tales, all fuelled by imagination. Very nicely presented Stephen. I enjoyed your more florid approach than the pared down poem I put on which you noted, thank you! The main thing is to be true to the style, which gives variety. Nice one.

Enjoyable for its mixture of words and folksy tune in a seasonal song. to lift the spirits. .

Airy-fairy is my response-sense
To this endearing piece of non-sense
Is it expected that I and you seize
The belief in something known as goose cheese?!
But I'm happy to let my imagination take wing
With what a gander at Coopey's goose-ing can bring! 😋

It doesn’t matter that the lights are new either, Stephen. We’ve bought them in January when they’re reduced in price. No matter; they still don’t work when we take them out the box in December!

Lovely poem. I agree with Holden's comment. Those lines
"The journey takes whatever course it needs; meanders through required weeds" are great, and a metaphor for life..
