Notes About The Poem
WPC July 27

OPEN FORM wpc Week 3

To the heart of the matter
windblown
by gusty amazements
a richness and complexity
fine and delicate
 the beauty of verse
 speech by ‘ear’ 
and reason tested
not in arrogance
but humility 
and subtlety of form
Questions
 alluring in novelty
foreshadowed
   by conscious perception
Far and leisured
 discerned by prosody
