Whitewavemark2 I think the BBC is calling doggerel poetry. That’s what I don’t like. It was really a comment on the BBC (radio 3,4,5 and the TV) as I’ve heard such utter dross in rhyming couplets recently.
There are so many amazing, challenging, wild, witty, subtle, thoughtful poets out there I just wish we would hear more of them/their work instead.
It’s not a comment on your post, only my own general thoughts about “lock down poetry”.
Every day a new and just as dreadful greeting card.... (are you listening, worst offender, 5live?)!
