Nice -- very nice! Concrete Poetry comes in a lot of forms, and this choice is superb. I've got a soft spot for terns, which is a good thing since they winter-over on the grounds of the place where I work....wonderful to watch a flock of them all swirling round together-- I don't even mind the occasional hose-work that comes from tern poop on my car..... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Wondorous words it's a bird! (Cricky didn't even get that the first read, until walking back with a coffee to read again, LOL.) Now are you not the most clever Dad around? What a wonderful gift for her to treasure forever, from a heart and mind that is pretty hard to equal anywhere. By the way, you can "draw" very well ![]() ![]() |
