Mackenzie Flohr asked Bryan Pentelow:

Is there a genre you have thought about exploring, but have not yet done so?

Bryan Pentelow From my days as a copywriter in mail order, I have occasionally tried my hand at poetry. This has mainly been in the form of a pastiche of well-known and loved pieces for humorous effect. I would love to give the art a serious go but find it extremely difficult to kerb my tendency toward long sentences. The economy of words necessary to produce the concise language needed to avoid doggerel or saccharine tripe often eludes me. So far I have only produced one stand alone poem with which I am moderately satisfied entitled 'What If' which can be found on Niume.
I will keep trying and perhaps one day will scrape togeather enough for an exceedingly thin volume.
