I’m glad you like it, Janet. I agree with your assessment of form and structure. That’s one of the great things Hopkins can teach us today. Every single word is important.

Absolutely adore this poem, Allen. Thank you for sharing this one with your readers. The form and structure of the poem gives heft to each and every word, up to it’s conclusion causing the last 2 words to be read reverentially. For this reader, anyway. I’m still tingling from its vibrations, Sir!

Some lovely words in here. I like ‘dappled’ (don’t hear that much these days…well, I don’t), ‘couple-colour’, ’stipple’ and ‘freckled’…some lovely sounds to go with the pictures. ‘Rose-moles’ is the only thing I stumble on…just because I can’t picture what that is. Must go and look at a trout!
