Beasts of Burden

[Leanne]

I generally find myself making a guess about meaning based on a couple of phrases (what could they possibly mean?) and then see if the rest of the poem bears out my assumptions. If not, either I've guessed wrong or the poet has just bunged a whole stack of pretty-sounding phrases together to try and fool unsuspecting readers into thinking it's deep (amphigouri). It takes many years of practise to be any good at working out which is which, and even then it's not an exact science.

Thanks for returning ><
