Thank you, indeed, Alex.
Like Susan and many others, I have learned an enormous amount here. This has most often been the result of considering why the poems of others worked for me or did not work and then putting this into words in a comment. For this I am grateful to Alex and to all those down the years whose lines have pricked me into thought.
I have been a member since 2001, and, again like Susan, I regret the fallings out that have occurred, on more than one occasion, during that time. Poetry matters a great deal to those to whom it matters (to people like me, of course), but it is not an ultimate good (if, indeed, such a thing exists).
