Congratulations, Martin!

Cheers,

Beautiful poem, Martin, which I hadn't seen before. Congratulations!

Susan

Lovely, and Congratulations. I like the way you link music and visuals here, in particular the 'notes' as 'dappled fish' - that's beautiful and clever.

Sarah-Jane

Thanks, John, Susan, and Sarah-Jane.

Sarah-Jane - Thanks for mentioning the notes as dappled fish.
I think you call that synesthesia (or British spelling: synaesthesia).
