cottonwood if the cottonwood got ten would’s I’d shift and dart ‘round my cart if I were to pick the seed hold warm in hand I could make a swift demand of cotton’s wood of seed, I could that ol’ seedy cottonwood have you ever held the form of cottonwood’s seed of cotton’s warm the trees that stand to my south go north in wind I’m cottonmouth but this night, this night the dark is near and something cool and not quite clear the cotton’s seed is drifting south a wind from north leaves words unrhymed un-timed de-rhymed still, still, the hold, sublime cotton’s wood of tall and grace love the light on morning’s face shimmer, shake a morning’s break cotton’s wood a warm embrace in early morn a shimmy shake in later’s sun a quiver’s quake a cottonwood’s delight come clear a snowy morn summer’s near |

"in early morn a shimmy shake in later’s sun a quiver’s quake a cottonwood’s delight come clear a snowy morn summer’s near" I really loved the flow in this Karilea ... whimsical and just rolls of the tongue, much enjoyed! Best wishes, /Kit |
