Buttercup

Lisa I'm always a fan of less is more, that cut to the chase stripped down to the poetry bone approach and you write it without losing any essence or God forbid that sense of ethos meaning.
Nothing trips you up with no poetry dead-wood clutter ever found.
When one solitary word out of place or that unwelcome rogue one too many, can collapse a poem like a fragile house of cards.
Great writing, beat and meter, not forgetting rhyme and message.
Thank you for sharing your poetry gift and poetry respect to your good self from one, not merely happy, but extremely contented avid reader.
