Hi Smithy,

Thank you for taking the time to read through my poems and provide constructive feedback.

There’s so many great writers on medium. Scuzzbucket, Scrittura and The Howling owl publications are where most of my favourites reside.

I’m curious what expectations you think are set by the title? Is it an ode? A juxtaposition with the park bench?

Sage advice re: what drives a poem for the reader. I’ll take that and put it in my pencil case for the future.

Cheers
