I just tried to see what else I might enjoy (at swwim) but it seems I'm excluded by gender. Which is an oddity, since a good few of my readership are female. Why swwim? Well my most recent follower Marian had shared this verse. I'm afraid I've crammed so much in a few years (old bloke returns to written page) and my eyes are on fire:) so I'll read more later if I can... I lack knowledge on poetic tech so apologies for not waffling about iambs. But the language and perhaps subject handling remind me of Plath. Perhaps it was the time? Or again a gendered issue? It's in the way things are described, the economical direct and clever but not obscure choice of words - and their order. Still, I'll share as a note for any other female readers:), Yours etc, a bloke
