I’m a poet apparently. Sorta accidental – I dont write on any consistant theme and vary the tools I use – the only thing I really, really dislike are obvious rhymes. Look forward to reading you.

Skulls and Houses (For Bob Beagrie) “Cheek by jowl, Stone and bone – The head of Bran lives on! I live in his eye, Eye live in his I.” Each tree a chancel mystery, Each house a hidden claim On the shelter of Bran’s legend, The echoes of a shades protection… The rising eloquence of Hillhead, Glasgow, Shines Georgian with rain, I greet the puddled wetness, Glimmer in the grain of water, Flitter with a surface tension – The wind-song calling Bran… "Know the Green Man born again, Mold him from a ...

An excellent haiku/senryu - in that the focus, whilst visual also carries a sense of the wider picture. As a constructive suggestion this does not have to be 5/7/5 it could run something like: A mole mark - the place high on shoulder blade that calls my lips 5/5/4 This, to me, would carry a less european sense of syntax. An excellent piece G.
Hi Josephine Structurally, as I read it, this poem has a set syllabic structure with some (according to my accent and count) slight variations (presented with count) – this creates a gentle languid rhythm that matches the slow parting of the mists to reveal Arthur. There is a very ‘romantic movement’ feel to this, which is again congruent with a wider genre and body of work on this topic, wether there are any intertextual references to other works I cannot tell.
