That Infirm Institution Poem by Sailing to windward

This poem recalls to me what I wrote to my wife long ago: 'Words seem of so little use when the feeling I have for you is real. / 'Love' is a poem I would have written if I had not met and married you.' Your poem effectively uses word sounds to enforce meaning and content. Another great job.

Interesting and well-penned paradox here, and one to which I think many will relate. t x
