Famous

constructed A'. Yet another quality velvet piece for your hefty fine collection.

You sure are one of my favorite writers on this site today. Keep these *snuggies* coming.

*p.s *snuggies* is my new word for poems that create warm and rich imagery (:

I'll have a big head after reading all that, Inky. Thank you for adding this to your list and for your wonderful comments. I'm thrilled to bits.

 - and I volunteer your body of work onto that high plinth of quality poetry held up to inspire the rest of 'us'.

This poem is easy, rhythmic, funny and fits perfectly with the little picture you've added.

Well done,

Steven

... the famous list is endless, of course Steven - but alas my patience when using rhyme is limited. I refuse to invest more than ten minutes on it during the (thankfully) rare occasions when it lures me into its clutches. Appreciate your kind feedback.

you are panning your world on a rainy day, this one has all your unique wit that touches the darkness out there to bloom.

"Wit that blooms in the darkness" - what a lovely description (Can it be me you are talking about, Priya?) Thanks for your kind words.

Ofcourse its you and wit only blooms in the darkness out there, as I see it, suffering clears the eyes I guess and you see the world in all its native darkness
:-)

work, this poem even has a solid rhyme scheme and typical four line stanza arrangement! I'm surprised, Abra, but not disappointedly so. On the contrary, this sudden departure from your usual free verse style makes a pleasant change, and shows your dedication to experimenting with different forms. Love the repetition of "In a country famous for rain", and the picture juxtaposes perfectly alongside the words.

Yes, I don't know how it happened, Jack. The whores of rhyme are always waiting for the unwary. Don't worry I'm a long way from becoming Larkin-esque. Thank you for your kind feedback.

Nothing wrong with Larkin! The man WAS a genius:-)

Couldn't agree more about the man, Jack - it's just that as you know, rhyme has never been my cup of tea - personally I consider it to be a potentially poisononous chalice.
