Really liked it, Mac, especially the second stanza and the 'aubergine clouds' in S3.

Many congrats!

Congrats, Mac!

Those two are truly terrific.
I like the way you handle boathouses, and the snailed church and those priesting mussels are irresistible.

Well done, Mac! Quite interesting, those two poems riffing off each other. If you were only going to keep one - and why would you? - it would have to be Playing at Being Dylan, I think. It reads like a stream-lined version of Laugharne.

Cheers

Thanks MJ. The October poem walk in Laugharne, if you ever have the opportunity, is worth a stroll. There's a spooky sense of Dylan about that walk. Or perhaps it's just the silence of the marsh :roll:

Thanks David. Of course, Dylan had a habit of switching nouns to verbs, a practice you have some antipathy towards, but that was my excuse here :)

Thanks again both for the encouragement.

Terrific, Mac. Nicely atmospheric. Nicely connecteing with his noun-verbing.

Well done! Interesting poems.

Anyone else struggle with issuu, or do others like the format?

Thanks Ross.

They've sent me a pdf version. I'm okay with the format if I use the full screen for issuu.
