I'm a runaway poetry train,
No brakes ever installed.
A writer's rollercoaster ride,
To keep reader's enthralled.
What shall I scribe next,
Something hellish or heavenly.
I'll simply let time tell,
For that choice is up to me.
Dominic many thanks and I just love to make a poetry rod for my own back and yes keep reader's guessing at what's coming next, but like you say, to keep them, or try to keep them enthralled. It's easy- peasy lemon squeezy to turn out the same old sausage factory poems that are all colour faded in poetry's wash. No originality or poetry mojo. Anyone can do that, for it's like shooting fish in a poetry barrel. Thanks again and take care.
Thank you good Bernard for your kind and most generous comment sir. And remain poetry blessed and embellished. And Bernard I will make time soon to read many of yours and comment, For my place at work is also my greedy time mistress. Take care Bernard and thanks again. Shaun.
