Nice! Copse as noun allows for a mostly objective reading aside from the possible element of some kind of fright or internal disturbance involving some mud. As a verb the piece reads quite subjectively: as an account of something painful and embarrassing perhaps, or maybe the opposite. Liberating and renewing? Then of course there is my tendency to misread words that bear a similarity to others.
At the risk of appearing to be a shameless self-promoter, upon contemplating this piece I was reminded of my very first piece of blog writing…

Thanks for the prod, Marie. It’s damned hard to distill multiple readings and their consequent thought provocations into such a short space as you have done here. Bravo, I say.
I have to say that it’s every serious poet’s dream to attract comment longer than the poem. 🙂
