Flights of Fancy

I liked this Martin, especially the first three stanzas (although not entirely sure about 'via my card' - it takes a moment to work out)

this was all better that the
novel i was reading

Shurely (says the queen of typos and bad spelling) should read

this was all better than the

-I find the word I in small case shouts 'look at me!' Unless there is a damn good reason why to use it or you are ee cummings, I wouldn't, but this is just me.

- Lineation,
later
in a tewkesbury pub

I can't see how the break helps the rhythm and would move all this onto one line. I would also move 'stalker' up and not have this alone in a line.

(My own lineation has always been quite poor so I am not talking from any hilltop, just comments that have arisen from my own endeavours to improve in this area.)

cheers for the comments jude, they are fair comments i always just post them up unedited really, and then return at a later date
This sort of thing seems to me to fall somewhere between poetry and prose. A narrative-driven hybrid of the two. Proetry? Pose? It could easily have been written as just a paragraph or two, but breaking it up into stanzas and lines makes the reading more deliberative. A nice poetic 'tale'! :-) * P * :-) ( Read my blog! - www.oddcourgette.blogspot.com )
