Headway

[BW BRINE]

Your first stanza immediately think of Winnie the Pooh, and I think that tone really carries through the rest of the poem.  It's not childish by any means, but there's definitely a youthful, innocent, whimsical quality to it.  I'd like to think of it as Christopher Robin and Winnie the Pooh as CR enters adolescence.  It's a wonderfully vivid read.  I'd love to be able to turn this poem into a mural in my apartment.

thanks, snarling.

you're welcome to try to make that mural (I certainly can't stop you). I'm glad you enjoyed the poem, and I'm also glad you got those images of CR and pooh - that was a major influence.
