    Tom,
    Two poems on words, which have (for quite a while) been spoken and "written down" (such coincidence!) ---

    1.27

    grey-white of clouds above sunlit green
    ridge, red-tailed hawk calling in left
    foreground, sound of waves in channel

    full-blown color experience,
    “now that I have seen”

    part, immediate spoken word,
    had been written down

    grey-white clouds reflected in channel,
    shadowed slope of ridge across from it

    Cleaver of you Tom, to structure us in the manner of you did !!

    I liked the entire series of words.

    I've enjoyed this poems on the 'parts of speech'. Are you planning to have a stab at prepositions, conjunctions and interjections?

    Thank you Aditya for noticing that I am a structuralist.

    Well, Stu, I was indeed thinking of taking my cleaver to them... but I fear they may have now squirted away into the night, like small greas'd piggies.

    I should think so. Around the unaccountable ones in particular.
