NONE of my 'lot' understand or like poetry, except my father and my sister. My father took a book of poems with him to read even in the wartimes. Think that one needs time to read and understand poetry, and some people prefer playing with numbers rather than words. Playing cards for example. Liked this and thought it very original.

John, I hear you. And it's not always a “fault” that needs fixing but an endearing trait that we writers can laugh about ?

It is a fault that we writers all take ourselves too seriously.

Thanks for your kind words, Saul ?? I recited this poem to a loved who does not like poetry. They laughed, understanding they were my inspiration ?

I like this poem and your other sampled work. It has vigour and is not dull like some poetry can be.
