He also adapted classic fables, which were paired with the vintage illustrations of artist, Paul Bransom, for the collection: Once Upon a Time, Classic Fables Reimagined. His plays have been staged and performed both nationally and internationally.
Ah, absolutely delightful.
It’s been long since I’ve read a push-pull composition, they are very rare nowadays. In fact, all original zero-stanza forms are rare to come by. You’ve done an awesome job.
The content of the poem, although beyond my scope, feels like an energiser with a drop of rage. Almost revolt, even.
Thank you for displaying this to us.

Thanks, Johnny. Yea, was fun to work out and expose and explore tensions in a swing-saw kind of way 🙂
