Well, seven poems revised over one frustrating weekend isn't bad going, in my book. Below are links to each of the revisions, now being workshopped on the poetry newsgroups, and also links to their pages on the superbly crafted rikweb.co.uk website where the final versions of these little tykes will end up. Enjoy!

Seven in a single weekend? And there I was, happy with one in a week!
ReplyDeleteGuilt overload: I haven't commented on any of these in RAP, have I?
ReplyDeleteMy only defence is that they lack the bad qualities that make commenting easy. Next Xmastide, please write stuff that can safely be made fun of when half drunk on ASDA Chateauneuf and M&S Port.
PJR :-)
