  • A broken telescope
    gazes sightless into
    the redundant sky,
    rotting timbers creak
    amid half removed ironwork,
    graffiti of the departed
    scrawled on torn-postered
    rusting balustrades;
    only half remembering
    the very long ago of
    those places and their times,
    inexhaustable
    porcelained mementoes,
    candyflossed,boat-tripped,seagull clarioned
    abandoned in envious oblivion,
    sweeping
    sweeping toward
    a far horizon
    of never
    never going back,
    leaving one last footprint
    to the inexorable tide.

Ah-ha, this is not one of my favorites.  Then again your worst poem is heads and shoulders above ours.  But at least now you know I won't jump up and down at everything you write.  It had moments and had you sheared off some of the descriptives like "inexorable" "redundant" "torn-postered" "abandoned in envious oblivion" I would have been deep inside this poem.  There I criticized the master--now I'm wondering if lightning is going to strike me!  I reckon you'll let it slide.  A talent like yours can afford to be generous.
