Bravo! Delightful poem with a moral... first time I've seen 'badinage' in print, rarely hear it much... Enjoyed :)
Note to your previous poem... I meant terrible in the sense that the subject of the poem was barbaric, the poem was written well to flail my sensibilities.
Page interrupted... lost my only 'V' poem... back soon...

re:Yes I liked Guy Carryl's bardinage too. It's a bit of a relief from serious poetry.
re: I quite understood that you meant that the content was barbaric.But it's good to know that there were abolitionist poets in US at that time.
Oh, happened to me too these days.
"King Trisanku"-Very concise, a scene, and a reflection motivated by it. Enjoyed!

"Down the Hill of Ludgate," - Walter de la Mare; Up and Down... https://allpoetry.com/Up-and-Down
re: Thanks for the analysis on Hopkins, it has a very sophisticated form, sort of modernist style. He does a bit in poetry what Joyce does with Ulisses and Finnegans Wake in prose.
"Up and down". Enjoyed how the poem depicts mobility.
