Just got to love your opening gambit first line with that glorious reference to hard bones, just to set the tone then hit the ground running. then Dominic another superb closing line to wrap thing up. And so cleverly and neatly too. I enjoyed reading your fine poem about old poems of which I am an avid reader. Thanks for sharing Dominic and a full score and also added to my favourites. Take care.
Thanks Shaun, , much appreiated...hopefully this poem will endure too!
