where as if at God's baton tip, starlings
meet, surge, melt, crescendo wild shapes of joy"
Beautiful.
And the turn in those...

Wow. Crazy roller-coaster fire in fireworks factory story. Brilliant. Yes, I get the Reilly comparison, but I enjoyed this more. I'm glad you kept going with it. I'll read on over the coming days. Far more interesting than some things I've been...

Great poem, too. You really are very literary. I feel like I'm playing at it. I've read some of those works by Eliot over and over and never got all that. Do you need to formally study pieces to get it?

Great pick of the day. You've got so much into that first verse, Di. Brings the senses alive. Good point about access and people buying these wilderness places up. They want it all to themselves. Everything. And they'll get it. True also about...
