I won the John Clare prize in poetry twice through Academy of American Poets. So I love John Clare obviously.
It's almost as if he was a modern poet, Clare, in poems like The Badger, . He doesn't use hollow rotund words, but gets to the nitty-gritty.
https:m.poemhunter.compoemi-cant-be-sad check out my poems please ill really appreciate it.
Oh dear - this poet (I am told) did not post any poems in the last 14 days! !
John was a living legend although I thought he herded animals better than he wrote poems but that just my opinion and am a big fan of his labouring background this guy was a living legend but ermm he died...... Ermmm yeh go john! and as im a keen cannibal i would love to have a bite ov him if he was still alive but now hes dead the meat doesnt taste as fresh...... TOD MCGRATH......
