But reading back on it now, there are too many words in it. It hurts my brain and my eyes to even look at it.

Poetry should always be simple – less words, more images. It was pure verse to begin with – just a few loose half rhymes and a good but irregular meter, but I just got caught up in an arbitrary rhyme structure.

How bloody human of me to try and impose order onto something that doesn’t want it.
