I am still working on the poem. I'd like to quote David Harsent who is judging this year's Bridport Prize (worth £5000): 'All writing is about re-writing so I'll be looking for a poem that doesn't have about it the whiff of the first draft, or second (or for that matter, a third).'

The original was a jigsaw poem - I've now added rhyme and extended the poem by another verse as well as changing some of the wording to make the meaning more explicit. In the process many of the jigsaw words have vanished, but I think using and then discarding prompts can often be a good way to go!
