I have a very disturbing tendency to get my words around wrong these days!!!
I think that means it is time for me to retire!!!
Bill - I didn't have 'sends' in the first copy that I posted - which, I think, is part of what made it sound wrong to Neville - have snuck in and changed it!! (Shoooooosh!!! Don't tell anyone!!)
Dave - are you coming up to enjoy our coast this year for the Cervantes festival??? I have yet to catch up with the committee and see if they are having a poets breakfast again, but they were keen to after last year. I have been very slack this year, and not got to any of their meetings - time just goes tooooooo quickly now I have a grand-daughter that I have to go and see!!! (On a quite frequent basis!!
)
Neville - I appreciate your comments. It is a very long time since I learned about subjects, predicates and the like, and it is good to be reminded of them, and take notice of whether we are using our words correctly in our poetry! Your comments on the technicalities of our english are excellent, and you are always more than welcome to make such comments on any of my posts. It challenges me to go and look up my english rules and technicalities - which is always a good thing - as we should never stop learning or refreshing what we have forgotten (and believe me, I find I am forgetting more and more!!
)
The 'send' that I had in that line did not really sit right with me either, but I allowed it to slip through, because I didn't take the time to work out what made it sound a little off - so thank you. I remember Glenny and Croc, back on the bushverse site, impressing on us time and time again about the need to polish, polish, polish!!!!! I always get caught out when I don't!!
Catchya
