I love this poem so much. You can tell right away when a poem has good rhythm because when you read it your reading of it takes a natural beat and that always just makes me so happy. And then you have spot on imagery and it was just a win all around.
I'm so glad you liked it! Getting the rhythm set for this was tricky, even though the first part seemed to come very instantly. I really appreciate your enthusiasm for it and thank you so much for reading!!
Haha! That's awesome. I also thought the "Hong/Kong" split was a bit quirky and hence couldn't resist it. I appreciate your comments and I'm glad you liked it, especially the different qualities of this one. Sincerely thank you for reading!
I appreciate that! I'm glad it also felt quirky to you-- quirkiness is hard to get right, rhythm too. Hard to put your finger on, and I couldn't be sure if it'd actually gotten it. . .
I believe the term pomelo is more standard, but the subject of this poem & I used to call them “shaddocks” a bit tongue in cheek, as that was the term we were given, when we looked up the English translation and thought it was a bit ridiculous that it had come from an East India Company captain’s name. Ha-ha. Anyways I’m really glad you liked this, and even took the time to research a bit, let alone to just read it. Thank you kindly!
