That is a really wonderful poem. I'm not usually very impressed with people's poetry including my own, but your poem is marvelously simplistic. I'm also very find with a few of the lines you use about buildings which the morning sun would have to contend with and about turning as one would to lift a bale of hay.
I hope to read more of your work in the future. Very lovely indeed. |

How much did you have to pay to get them to publish it ?
It is of the same qualityas Vogon Verse (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galxay) |

Actually Scot47, Vogon verse is of a very different genre. Our Kev here is more pleasing to the ear and much less dangerous.
A few examples from http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7/drama/progpages/hitchhikers_vogon_poetry.shtml

| Fine poem, Kevin. It must be rare indeed that the TLS poetry editor compares anyone's work to Eliot's and brands old Tom wanting. The only way you could find that comparison other than brilliantly satisfying is if you had read less Eliot than I suspect you have. Where may we find more of your poetry? |

What happened, couldn't find webspace on Earth? What is that, some kind of Borg subspace transmission? I clicked it and all I got was assimilated.
