the conversational tones you use in your poetry. It makes the scene live, in my view.
I get the image of a husband playing bad when the wife has some of her friends over and the spirit of the group is rattled. That's what poetry is about, mostly creating an image, a feeling, not so much the telling of a story.
In such insatable mysteries we are lost;
As a doer unknowing in the second act-
Only in our afters do we know the cost,
When our fictions have become our fact
