Thanks again. So much. You never know with poetry, y'know? Whether it lands or not. Or if you're way off. And yeah, it means a lot to know when a poem lands. So I really appreciate it. I think this one is starting to show the influence of the song title poems tbh :-) something about the way it cuts, and shifts.
Well, your poem landed with a soft thud and the reverberation has not passed away yet. You have a way with words, Dick, that I really love. Your frugal choice of words is ripe with feeling.
I found you on Reddit. What you are doing is great, finding forgotten poets from long ago. This platform and the online works has allowed all of this forgotten information and literature to be shared again, giving them a second life.
Oh wow! Haha - I didn't think posting to Reddit was really doing anything - but you have proved me wrong! Thanks so much for the lovely words. :-) Yeah, totally, having big archives of out-of-print material online, and places to self-publish, has made this kind of thing possible! I am very thankful for it. :-)
I keep reading your poem over and over, and I just can't stop :)

I love these drawings, especially the daisies in a jar. And your poem is perfect
Aw thanks Tamsin! Much appreciated :-) Yeah the daisies drawing is definitely something special!
