Hi agmoore
How do you do that? :) I had a friend once, a great poet, who used to write verse in sometimes archaic forms--just to challenge herself. It's hard enough for most of us to find the words that express our thoughts.
Ha ha, well... the answer is with difficulty. I spent the best part of three hours on that poem, using rhyming dictionary and thesaurus to improve the choice of words, especially verbs. Not to mention all the research as I was unaware of the mythology behind the Hesperides.
Thank you for your feedback & lovely compliment for my writing. I'm always happy when someone reads and enjoys my poems 🙂
P.s. thank you for the tip. Very kind, and much appreciated 🙂
