Good imagination Eira!
The cutting board analogy is interesting, especially the peacock one.
As Bob suggests remove the pine pig.
Peacock one is fine. It does the job.
Thanks Meena - I have removed the pine pig now!

Well, thank you, Bob for sticking with me through this.

I felt happy with this too, but didn't feel to sure of st 2&3 as I felt they could be combined and condensed in some way. I've also experimented by adding a couple of lines of the hymn Calan Lan,at the end of this section (not sure of this).

Hope you like the changes I've made. Still open to suggestions. As I said to Ken - I like revising :lol:

Suggestion Eira:

Place 'Calon Lan' as an epigraph.

with the credit to the song writer and reference the hymn.

I like version 4 better. This line needs a segue... it piles up without one:
Rashers
of ham, sharpened with her apple
chutney and salty butter
on bloomer slices.

Good idea, Frank. I'll look up the details. Should it go before or after the poem?

Thanks Bob

I have since written that line slightly differently - but I'm still thinking on it. It might be best to leave it rest for a bit before I return. About time I posted something new :D
