Good writes A. Sometimes in my hymn-poems an extra syllable can be sneaked in, e.g. heaven can be \'heav-en\', or sound like \'heav\'n\'.
Or some words may have extra long musical notes to them.
I\'m not a professional at it. Oh, the technicalities! We\'ll lose sleep over it if it\'s not exact! lol

I was responsible for drafting Clinical Trial agreements and one of the most difficult areas to address was the question of side effects so I do understand how you have suffered. If you were not properly advised at the time then it could be argued that your consent to proceed was not valid and although I doubt if you would ever want to go down that path it could give you grounds for action. I do hope the effects are in the past - keep writing Augustus.

Ah babies and children and I just melt - sad reflection on the world these days but I feel uncomfortable even smiling at a little one unless I know the parents, and yes - it\'s okay to say \'rosed\' in fact I might use it myself sometime.

Alliteration can be mesmerising, I use it it some of my poems but they are not a patch on this fine write. (Or those of GMH)

I, too, am intrigued by alliteration, but have never made the bold, beautiful stab at it like you have here. Great job in accomplishing what you set out to do, Augustus! I\'m a bit envious.

Reading the dip into alliteration and assonance you scribed here made my heart sing - - truly a soul-stirring verse which I for one could wish was in print dear Augustus - you have the talent that Hopkins would surely have marked with approval.

A fine write. I\'m sure the intention is not to embarrass or degrade. They would say (I hope) it\'s to help you. I understand your situation though.
I suppose some things may be \'done to us\', like it or not. I\'ve had times of \'not liking\', but not many medical things.
Thinking of you.
