Subject: Fwd: A POEM
I like how the middle England phrasing is tied to natural images while
narrative qualities seem to openly impede and not quite organize the
latter. The line for me is sad rather than weary, which offers hope I
suppose. I hope everyone can be well.
Cheers,
Luke

I understand that the Poet Laureate has written a coronavirus poem. I
haven't seen it. Is it any good?

Subject: Re: A POEM
He wrecks it on line 5 with 'in ye olde Eyam'.. While rhyming 'sorry story'
with 'Rowland Torrre' a few verses later is almost an act of public suicide.
Pity because parts of it look good.
