Thanks for the kind words and feedback Billy. I must admit I tend not to think about sentence length in poetry (as you can see
), because provided the lines are broken up with commas and line breaks I don't think it a problem. I see what you mean though, especially considering this is free verse. By "completely ignorant of it" I mean ignorant of how to play music. I'll add that onto the sentence actually. Thanks for pointing out the problem there.
