There is something about your writing – a sense of viewing another world (I’m English) more so than any film (movie to you!) – I more than enjoy reading you. Take care out there, okay.

I’m glad you like my work that much. 😊 I’m very flattered, friend. You have amazing writing too with gorgeous figurative imagery for the reader to picture.
We all have a different style, though, in our writing that we offer to the reader. I don’t consider myself a better poet than anyone. I prefer descriptive brevity with a sort of prosody that I don’t do in my own work, so it just depends on the reader.
But, I’m very flattered. 🙂

Poetry is indeed a whole world of experimentation. Similarly, I’ve only recently decided to change it up a bit in my writing and try new things I’ve never considered before. I enjoyed reading this. It’s very informative, thoughtful, and relatable about breaking traditional forms of poetry to mix around styles to better communicate the idea without a certain set of guidelines (punctuation or capitalisation for instance). An enjoyable, wonderful read.
