- location location location (or, in this case 'process process process'). I thought it may be interesting, as I develop the poem over the next 5 or 6 weeks more (I started way back in March, sorry) to share the process of poetic composition. Maybe or maybe not ... I have my own individual way of going about composing, dunno how anyone else does it, but there you go, I thought it may be of interest to follow that process,
and it may inspire you to invent your own method (remember: no-one, absolutely no-one, knows how to write a poem ... except YOU) - it's a useful place for me to try out stuff, and an experiment in public composition. I write 10-100 times more than gets into the final work - what ends up on the cutting room floor, and why?
- it's a 'noticeboard' to pin things on

Floating Harbour:
a liquid necklace of
water wherein
Frome Maidens gambol
amidst the mumblings
of History; a
secret harbour
woven around Avon,
spun
on a distaff of land and
stone by Saxons,
Normans;
whose
threads reach out to
Ireland, Africa, the
Amerikees.
