The longer lines you've used, I think are good to make the mood. Some of the metre seems a bit irregular ( no problem in my book ;) ) but I think that also helps to make the right mood for this picture.

Personalised Poetry Marty the great untapped avenue of our age.


I do a lot and the there is nothing better then being invited to read it out or have it read at a function be it a birthday , wedding or sadly a funeral.

Well done mate

I recited The Fire At Ross's Farm at a Cremation, and they threw me out.
