Not out

[cidermaid]

with the short explanation i see this a hole lot clearer

really enjoyed the opening almost like 'resting of your laurels' (hmm..apples ) but i LOVE the way you wrote about how the banks/bailiffs took it all away some awesome imagery in that an the bitterness IMO shines through

cant say to much about the 'how' its written as you a way betterer writer than me anyways

the only 'but' i do have is the last 2 stanzas..i dont think they add to the poem, the tale had been told already the fall from riches to finding true wealth again
that said i aint a believer soo maybe thats why i thought it droned on a bit at the end
LOL...I think it droned onat the end a bit ...and i wrote it!
