Rest assured I chose each word deliberately. The grammatical correctness of the eighth line was to be like a sudden log jam after the cascade of the previous six lines. Wedding veils might also be like gossamer nets - that's how the image surfaced. Originally, I stupidly mis-spelt the Dickensian lady's name so thanks for unwiitingly correcting me.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-71295688951478164212010-06-09T12:09:49.650+01:002010-06-09T12:09:49.650+01:00If I may be so bold...

However, you are right to think that this poem was inspired by all this sorting through family boxes I have been doing.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-83294421832566706762010-06-09T07:01:44.891+01:002010-06-09T07:01:44.891+01:00Is the photograph one of the ones you have found i...Is the photograph one of the ones you have found in your family boxes?Elizabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-73904975174566889152010-06-09T06:59:22.043+01:002010-06-09T06:59:22.043+01:00Beautiful, YP.
