All Comments on 'Your Back Gate'

I enjoyed reading this well crafted poem of yours. The metaphor unfolds well over its course and your language flows well.

Great reading, as usual

but just about anything with walls and a roof.

another thoughtful write

good work,

This is good and strong word work no matter what one's politics are. - I would like to see the word "shit" replaced. It crashes in my ear.

Another poem you've written that I like on different levels. I like how it sounds when I read it out loud, I like the clarity of the imagery you've used, I like the rhythm (though I notice that not all lines have the same count - this doesn't deter from the poem itself, in my opinion). While I don't like the word 'shit', I feel it adds voice to the poem and great alliteration. I like how you've managed use the 10 count but haven't allowed it to mess up the flow of what you are saying.

Should 'orange vested' be hyphenated?
