Also the last stanza spells it out, though I don't usually have much problem with that! Funny how losing a line or two can change something so much. I liked your blog too. I don't seem to have many people to talk writing to, certainly not poetry, and I miss it. My friends from MLitt are not poets. Good luck with the novel. I empathise with your frustration with publishers and agents. Dear Christine
