Secret poem

Post by Maureen K Clifford » Wed Nov 16, 2011 10:32 am

Hi Sue

Is enwend a word???? Wend certainly is but unwend...I don't think is - I could be wrong though.

You could perhaps try

At smoko on that final day, his story would unwind
as he poured his heart out to his friend. The one he'd leave behind.

Just a thought

Really love the poem it is very sensitive and a story very beautifully told. Thank you Sue

Cheers

Maureen

Thanks Maureen for pointing that out and for taking the time to read.
Me and my english!!! :oops: I have made an adjustment which I think suits, and still keeps it as my own. Thanks again.

Cheers
Sue

Thank you Terry, I'm trying hard to improve. As a matter of fact, that is the first time I have attempted a verse with any length, usually I struggle with the story line and the syntax, but there is another story. Thank you for commenting.

Cheers

Always takes an effort Sue but it is always worth it.


I will admit I'm hard to hold and tend to speed read a bit but this has come up ok.
