Another straightforward Tailor Bell poem! ! ! As if! ! It's all too much for me. But on this occasion I'll pretend that I haven't a scoobie and endeavour to ambush you on the next one! ! All bets are off nevertheless. I too remember when Tull was big - on sidestreets mainly - but that was much 'later on' for me. The truth: I'm as awestruck as ever. You do something to the language that's quite mesmeric Mr Bell (Who are you really?) . You have got to do a least a little chuckling when you're putting these works of sheer artistry together. Marvellous! ! jim

Why did I not see this before? ! ! ! As Will said... This is hellishly good. Finely penned, apt flow and structure, and the content out of this world (in the strctest possible sense) . The imagination flows. Wow-cellent. t x

Wonderful poem about the significance of loss in childhood. Love the way you hint at events in order to evoke feelings without revealing too much. You force the reader to think. I had to look up chupacabra - fascinating creature - and the title is brilliant. I really enjoyed this. love, Allie xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Tailor>>>I do believe you made reference, here, to Ian Anderson & Jethro Tull, an ALL-TIME A W E S O M E GROUP if there ever was one....They initially went by another name, I believe, before re-grouping a bit & then releasing either(i think) 'THIS WAS' or ''STAND UP'Nice memories well expressed here, Tailor!

This is certainly surreal. It has a feeling of warmth to it and a humour that seems warpped. I enjoyed this a lot.
