I am glad you have revisited your poem, it is beautiful. What an incredible first line to work from, I might give it a go myself - thank you for the inspiration, Tamsin.

Thank you. Alas as a teenager I just tended to get annoyed at being told what to write. I’d love to see your work.

He sang

Oblivious to the naked feelings

That raged in my swollen heart and

The anger that rampaged in my tired head:

Love this!!

“And I wished I was that bird

Alone in his

Twisted, leafless tree” - beautiful!
