non-recurring dream

[tectak]

It is nicely written, almost too smoothly, notwithstanding that the meter jumps about, but chiefly, it is very sad, and the more so, as it has the ring of truth.

The abbreviation for 'version two' - V2-- perhaps predisposed me against, a little.

Hello Abu,
You picked up well from this one. I hoped the meter was sound but I am my own first critic and usually my last. Somewhere between I stick things up on this board and hope for a good grubbing. Reading out loud, which I do, makes modifications in emphasis that can cover off-beats so I unhesitatingly accept your point but would ask that you read the piece stentorially somewhere public so as to disturb the peace and risk arrest, to determine where I should make changes.
Sorry the v2 caused a flashback but I have picked up the habit quite recently from other threads. I admit to having some problems with the reply procedure on these boards but if it works for one it should work for all.......my problem.
Best and thanks,
Tectak
