The right word in an otherwise dull oetry is like adding a hot spice to a dull dish – suddenly the dish comes alive and gets attention. / Maurice

So true Milton. If you put kittens as your title then nobody will notice it, but put say ferocious kittens then that will catch someone's eye. Tom

I have noticed this, Tom. Interesting. Of course we all like our poems read, so sometimes we must resort to a little trickery. Thanks for your comment, friend.
