I find the poetry of Artisus to be unintelligible. Sorry, but you put yourself up for publication so you must put yourself up for criticism.
Well, yeah but that's not criticism, you're just saying you don't understand it.
What don't you understand?
Verse one describes a couch with a sheet and blanket on it. That's seems fairly uncomplicated. There's nothing there that doesn't make sense to me.
'can't be better washed' means in verse two doesn't really make sense in English (I think Artisus translates from another language) but if you replace 'can't' with 'couldn't' then, once again, that sentence is fairly obvious stuff as poetry goes.
The second sentence of verse two is about the light of the halogen heater reflecting on the woolen sheet.
The third verse is fairly clear if haven't been confused by the sentence above and therefore you know that the subject is of "And when its colour is butter yellow" is still the sheet.
It's yellow when the light from the heater is on it.
Once again, possibly some small translation difficulties, I think.
And the past tense of weave is 'wove' not 'weaved'.
But it's mostly about the person who made the blanket.
I'd accept that there's some bits that need editing but its not 'unintelligible' to me.
