Humbled, I'm off to read _Flock_ (the poem Robin refers to, now reprinted in _Larksong Signal_ available from a publisher near you, plug plug) in my Heaney voice over the weekend. I'd never have thought it. Immediate response is but, but, it's other than that, there are so many other possible models, it's only one poem, my friends put me up to it etc., but all that's academical, and if I get blagged for it, well, I'll put my hand up happily. Well, rather worriedly actually, wondering what else of my work is close to who else... Well how would you feel? But I'd love to see the Thos A Clark parodies. Better yet, I'd love to see BMcS and SO'B in the same room... Have a good weekend. Write someone else's poetry why don't you. RC %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
