Is it me, or has the quality of poetry increased dramatically

I have so much enjoyed the latest poems in the Stream.

I suspect a bit of both. My attitude has improved, but the work posted recently has been so much better.

You know I don't bullshit.

The sideburns
longer than before
Or
Perhaps my eyes
have now spectacled

But the real inborn seed
That has been supplanted,
Has been by thee,

A change of heart
That has been obviously noticed,
By everyone,
including me

The narcissist in me shears,
As Jess my dear
In your own fashion,
Convert hatred to love,
As can be seen
From the depths of my heart

The good wishes
you can’t ever fathom
It’s only the cane
That straightens.

be sure to drop in on the "Meter for everyone" workshop, whether you join or not.
You will be most welcome.

Again I stress, although it is Shark Pool, that is just the name of the workshops I run. I promise this one will be friendly.

cheers,
