A Dutch barge of immaculate neatness.

Poor old Barry all wrinkled and crinkled. Well he wasn't that way the last time I saw him. Great poem that captured the atmosphere of the dear old gent. Top marks and thanks for sharing it my friend. Hugs David

No, no, Sid. It's vodca. We don't do Drambuie on the cut. That's for classy hotels and weekends in land-locked places. Water gypsies always drink vodca. Fran.

Fran, I'm absolutely loving these poems. Allie got it just right when she said you were painting line by line - poetry even in that comment! I think all of these characters seem to bring the whole place to life and the Cut could be just the place for a soap opera, these poems are most enriching. Thank You and Well Done You! HG: -) xx

Reading this is like watching a fine artist at work - building up the image of the subject line by line in layers of colour and light. By the end of the poem, your reader 'knows' your subject and feels thoroughly satisfied. Brilliant poem. love, Allie xxxx

Fran, The Cut is too real to be an obsession, and the characters too finely drawn to be only imagination... This is fabulous stuff! I'm loving it, Ivan
