The Dudley Bucket Basher Comments

Portrait of a great human being. He would be right at home in Appalachia. Though the dialect is different. i love this, Andrew.10/10. Always your friend at poemhunter, Sandra

What a very down to earth story/description. Your Dudley bucket basher is a memorable old fellow Andrew and you have captured his voice with great skill and humor. I particularly like your 'mutton Jeff' line. It's been a long time since I've heard that one - a favorite of my late father's. Good to see you venturing away from your usual poetic path. It certainly works a treat! Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

This Black Country Dialect is cleverly woven into your poem and I really admire you for crafting it the way you have. It certainly brings out the characterization of Dudley and I find it fascinating to read. Thank you for a wonderful poem. 10 love Karin

Brilliant Andy, and you have captured the essence of the Black Country people so well here, 10 for yo! Lynda xx
