Congrats, Tristan!
Liked it, the idea, the ending, the ash.

Re: The Poetry Shed
Thanks Seth. Really pleased you like it.
Thanks Mac. Yes, I’m starting to enjoy writing poems which are a bit longer than my norm. Really glad you like it, too.
Cheers both,
Tristan

Re: The Poetry Shed
I so remember this one, Tristan. I think it's great, holding my attention all the way to that glorious close.
Well done, sir!

Hey, this is in Snakeskin too this month. They're okay with simultaneous submissions, are they?
It is a good poem - one of my favourites of yours. I remember joining in the critical free for all on this.

David, The Poetry Shed are fine with publishing poems that have already been published, but Snakeskin are not. As the submission window didn’t shut until Fed 28th at the Poetry Shed I thought there was no chance of them publishing it before Snakeskin’s March edition. But I was wrong. I should have told George but it was an embassassing situation and didn’t know he was going to give this poem the cover photo for the edition. I owe him an apology, I know, which will be forthcoming. Anyway, pleased you like the poem anyway.

Re: The Poetry Shed
Actually I remember having a similar experience. I sent some to George before the deadline for one month, and heard nothing, so sent them somewhere else, where one was accepted. And then George accepted that one for the following month, and I had to gently tell him. He was very understanding about it.
Re: The Poetry Shed
You were right David, George was very understanding. He’s a very decent fellow indeed.
Cheers,
Tristan

Re: The Poetry Shed
JJ, closing the poem on those lines was your suggestion I seem to remember. Many thanks!I think it's great, holding my attention all the way to that glorious close.

Re: The Poetry Shed
Well done, Tristan. I was supposed to have a poem appear in Poetry Shed on such and such a date last November, but it never did appear. I've wondered since whether I've committed some transgression or she just forgot!
