What's the difference between a story and a poem

"Poet Laureate John Betjaman, a quintessential English poet"

Blimey, the sterling rhyming limey.

"But most of us turn slow to see
The figure hanging on a tree
And stumble on and blindly grope
Upheld by intermittent hope,"*
but in groping find it hard,
hoisted by our own petard.


* excerpt from "The Conversion of St. Paul" by Sir John Betjeman

calm down. stop attacking people, if you don't enjoy what was said then attack the post and not the person. we don't do nasty in the sewer; here we just discuss. /admin
