Adrian, you have a lot of talent. But you should have told us something about yourself. I guess you are from South Africa. Pietermaritzburg might be one of the places you've stayed. You have a gift of observation. And you are meticulous with your words. And I see the rhymes here and there. There is a great deal of talent. But I am worried. Poemhunter is not the place for you. May be 10 years ago, it would have been fine. But not today. The whole site has been invaded by poetasters, frauds who know nothing about good poetry, flatterers, fawners, and you won't find a good poem even among a hundred. Don't seek for plaudits here. They will write rave reviews about all kinds of rot. The good poets have already left. I too have exited, but I am here as a critic, commenting on a few poems here and there. Well, bit.do/poetasters will explain things better.
