Hello Leon, I find your insights on 'The Vision of the Virgin by Ian Duhig' helpful in understanding poetry reading :)
Leon Wing says
Glad that posting helped in any way to promote poetry reading!

i like the ending to this post. thing is i think it has been tried before!
Leon Wing says
Sharon, actually you are right. It has been tried before, because I used the same beat scheme of Duhig's Virgin Vision poem. It's not plagirism though, as the words in here are ALL mine. I just wanted to show that if you know intimately how Duhig's poem works you can imitate it technically.
