The fun thing about writing is its double identity. Both interpretations are valid. Part of the fun here is to see what different people see in the same words. Your poetry fits into different niches depending on the reader. Thank you for visiting, as always. gratefully, David Ken- I don’t know why you think you were crass.

You'll have to forgive my literal mind. now that you point up the metaphor, it couldn't be clearer. As for Wales, it's the right part of Britain to visit if you're seeking that particular kind of stunning ruination. Sorry to have been so crass. Of course.

I'm finding it more satisfying and beneficial to explore my personal conundrums through fiction and poetry. I had a particular scene in mind when I described the ideal gardening spot. It's one of the many ruins in Wales, a lost castle, beaten down to a bare skeleton, open to the sky. But one thing remained intact, a huge fireplace as tall as me.

Lost and forgotten gardens, if one ever stumbles upon one of them, can be amazing places. Their neglect, dilapidation and disappearance into a jungle of overgrowth raise so many questions (How did it get to be like this? Where did the people go?) and refuse to answer any of them!
