Thank you - it is very cheering for me to read such a comment! Cazalying is a word I made up myself. It comes from the name of an Aussie Rules footballer who used to jump ridiculously high to catch the ball (I have never understood the enthusiasm for football, but it seemed to be just the right allusion to make here). Have a look at the song 'Up There Cazaly' on You Tube... And thanks again!
Your poems have an immediacy about them, which is half their charm, the other half is you capacity to choose such great words. I don't know what 'cazalying' means but I can guess. However, it is the shere joy of the sound of that word, as well as others, that peppers your writing with these little startling events. great writing.
That was great.
