The Fall
Twilbury,
Most of your poems (like your profile `Pocket` one) seem to operate by contradicting their own terms (perhaps not `Sheepless`). I`ve
come across this kind before and wonder why the
poets seem to take pleasure in it and don`t seem to express more surprise...I think I mean: Why do they seem so happy about the fact of it, and never seem to wonder about the why of it?
On the form: I could guess that the `thinness` of the lines and non punctuation might perhaps be to `rattle` the contradictions on briskly... but why
the capitalisation?
It was enjoyable thinking about this one.

Interesting points Harry
The capitalisation, I guess, are because each sentence start is a footstep or a stamp so it's to stress words or ideas as they role
This makes the poems jerky which maybe are the cogs whirring, wondering about the 'why'
There isn't really much happiness or delight in my poetry, it's a voice toying with the facts like a rubik's cube, trying to make the sides match to make some sense of why things work this way with no real idea why the colours are as they are or why the shape is round but feels square ...
that's probably not much help is it?
I'm glad you enjoyed thinking about this one though
