The Forests in Winter

[heslopian]

Thank you all so much! Back to the drawing board!

Achebe- Does everything have to mean exactly what it says?

Heslopian- does there really need to be narrative? I prefer to let the reader use their imagination. I think the problem may be that it is too short.

Well, no, there doesn't need to be a narrative in the novelistic sense of characters and plot. But there does need to be some sort of engine moving the poem from beginning to end, otherwise it's just a mush.
