You are very good at unforced rhymes and I like the feeling this poem gives of images opening up from each other.

The green fairy is another name for absinthe - given your poem about wormwood, are yout trying to reveal an addiction to absinthe?! Which is an excellent escape from Priests and rings.

I love 'The City of Dreadful Night' - this picks up the tone nicely and also describes the poor man's tortured life. A lot of your work refers to other poets, is this part of a deliberate project?

The last stanza is a bit obscure, i don't quite get the progression from what's gone before. But the central stanza is excellent

George Orwell would have been proud of this. Very good indeed.

And wormwood is the stuff in absinthe that makes the brain a little fried. Interesting development on that Blok quotation.

P&K, but you're the one who started blaming Britain. You did kind of bring the response upon yourself.

I never was there. These glassblowers were in Ireland. I'm surprised you didn't take a swipe at those fragile glass swans! But thanks very much anyhow. And hey there's a bonus new poem on here for the weekend, be sure to check it out.

Not the novels, the poems! 'Satires of Circumstance', 'Time's Laughingstock's' - he shits on Swinburne and Tennyson and the whole late Victorian mob with one mordant squat.

Now personal criticism I can take, but dissing Hardy? P&K man, do you not have ears to hear his genius? Shame on you!

I think Horus is being somewhat harsh - the second stanza especially is full of longing, and I like that.

I think the last stanza lets it down a bit - the syntax in the last line is slightly hackneyed - but the opening is very atmospheric and the feeling is real. I'd cut the ellipsis though.
