Dear Christopher,
your dome is lovely.
How proud I’d be,
to be Saint Paul.
Now could you just,
fix this carbuncle,
and make it fit
for us to use.
Some carvings and
some ornate windows,
topped with
gorgeous curlicues,
should turn this ghastly
glass and concrete,
into some resplendent mews.
A final point,
please make it Princely,
with feathered crests
of whitest hues.

Your poetry has such a unique flavour. The simplicity of its structure and syntax is balanced by its intelligence and the originality of the thought. And there is always a careful control over tone. Very refreshing and a delight a to read.

Well Ginga, you are a delight as a critic. Thank you so much. My poetry certainly isn’t mainstream and it has even been described as doggerel, but I do think that I can bring a useful, amusing or musical, slant on some things and I greatly appreciate your observations.
