in honor of a new school year may i present poetry 101 dont read too much into this its a lark
drifting on daffodil cloud above a sea wine dark forsaking winter’s warmth to seek of england a little piece for ever free worn down with the leavings of files wielded by outrageous fortune pierces the darkness of the heart while far flung our empire melts our revels all ended sail we while the evening laid etherized above the wave track dark upon a cloud of daffodils -+- (with apologies to messers wordsworth, homer, elliot, shakespear, conrad, a coulple of Anglo-Saxon poets, and an english poet whose name escapes me.)

John,

WOW. Only thing I see wrong with it is the spelling of "Primer" in the title; otherwise, brilliant!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :)
