ReplyDeleteteenage boys and poetry reminds me of 4th Form 50+ years ago when our baby teacher of Eng Lit was Miss Scott who was reading to the class and as she got to 'gawd combs in her hair' noticed a boy whose attention understandably had wandered further than the highlands. They made Pibroch of Donuil Dhu eternally memorable for me when she snapped at him "Philip Blencowe what does Tennyson mean by 'gawd combs?"
"I dunno, rollers or something"
He's a policeman now.
'Poem' must be the shortest word to achieve mellifluousness.
Keep up the good work.
Many thanks Annie
