Does that mean I'm free to covet my neighbour's ass? Even though it looks terrible in those polyester slacks?

No, this is the worst haiku ever:
Hunky chunky monk
Meets tiny spiny pony
Spunky chinese punk.

Great rhythm in the last two lines, and assonance to back it up. And the ten tails are perkily descriptive. Wowzers.

So this isn't a biogrpahy of the famous one-hit-wonder singing duo (as you omit the sad demise of c or E - can't remember which, I reckon it isn't). I like the different voices of the two the same situations seen from different points of view.

I like the gentle humour of this, the contrast of poet and girls, the reforming drinker and the innocent daughters of the church. This one's rhythms sneak into you subtly without even trying. Top stuff.

The villanelle, what a lovely form, and so wittily used. Is Atlantic city a good place to end up ensnowed? I have no idea.

So when you coming out to London then? Zzin mentioned something a while ago. Really glad you like this poem. It's my personal favourite.

My God, this is all so flattering. Thank you everybody who's liked my poem so much and commented on it. It truly did come out of nowhere in about ten minutes and so, in answer to your question Ranger, I can't really say if anyone in particular influenced this. My poetic heroes are Edward Thomas, Simon Armitage, Robert Frost, Wordsworth, Eliot, Michael Donaghy, for what that's worth. But thanks once again for your appreciation and praise.

Interesting... maybe you should just take the word 'truth' at face value here!

You're right, I do. I'll have to start using it less. Thanks for pointing it out!

This is crazed and funny. I don't know what a Winter Muse Fighter might look like, but they sound sneaky and unreliable.
