Hi Tectak. Thanks for the reply and your thoughts. As ever concise, meaningful and well thought out.
I did of course accept the realisation of the consequences of putting myself into your known domain....and thought on my own head be it. But actually I am latterly convinced that inside all that external, gruff abruptness beats the heart of a big softy. So, although I am one of the biggest wusses out, when it comes to confrontation, I think I will press in.
(Thought I would get a few more commas out of my system before I set to with the revision!)
My apologies for the misrepresentation of your thoughts. In part I had read your original post erroneously and taken it to mean you had previously kept away from this type of poetry writing out of preference for other forms. The idea of someone resolving to do something out of their normal box was inspirational to me.
Re the use of borne. I was presenting this as in Not to be borne, unbearable. (As an ongoing attitude...in that she is not a stiff).
I think if I did not hold myself back when writing and actually used my normal, daily vocabulary of words, I would be regularly rebuffed for using archaic language all the time. Perhaps we should start a thread of what does or doesn't constitute an out of use word. Whilst I completely understand and accept that the spoken word is constantly evolving and changing, I personally resent the dumbing down of the written word to the mental level of the pre-pubescent street and text talk.
I hope the argument suits...Enjoy!
I wait to see if any further comments come in before i do a revision. (Which will be greatly influenced by your puntuation assistance).
I'm also now seeing a lot of tense conflicts within my text that I did not think carefully enough about before posting - apoligies for failure in proof reading. In my defence i was really keen to get my experiment out there, (and equally so convinced that it was rubbish that i had an almost self fulfiling attitude of application in my creative process. I have a real block when it comes to anything that hints at writing free verse...I just don't get it).
AJ.
