Welcome to the site,
Cheers for the read.
Thank you for the feedback
, I haven't heard the Queen song but I'll def check it out. I see what you mean about "it's a kind of magic" being a cliche, but if it's fine asides from
that I think I'd prefer to keep it as is, I'm trying to break my habit of going for the most shocking turn of phrase
I'd honestly never heard of orange molasses either but I wanted a partial rhyme with glass
so yeah, forcing the rhyme really came back to bite me
Thanks again !
