If it's Dartford, breathe in ...
Every poem
a subtle twist
a pinch of humour
and something someone
missed.

Thank you. Paul was first on my list but got stuck, so wrote a sonnet to 'red-carpet' Hepcat to buy myself some time :))

Thank you Crim - the shorter the poem, sometimes the harder to write (so I found) so it's nice to get your positive feed-back :))

Thank you again HF, and for the RL. I agree with your active response and assessment of his impact, totally.

Your wit is more than evident in this brief write. I'm not familiar with Paul Dartford, but what I read of you consistently impresses me. I just hope I didn't miss anything....

Thank you, Crow, and for the Rl. Paul's writes are always short, with a clever twist and a spice of humour. Well worth reading some - there's plenty. They always bring a smile to my face. Some of the more subtle elements of humour though might not translate from a British to an American context.

Excellent Josh. Yes I too love Paul's wonderful minimalist pieces of profoundness.

Thank you Evan for passing this way - I recommend reading Paul Dartford - he's the master of meaning in a few short words - which I was trying to emulate here to honour him.
