I actually took a little work break and started playing around with lines -- which immediately revealed some weak spots. I may work on this one for a while. It's odd for me to do an initial draft in prose format like this, but it makes it kind of fun to work with.Anne Haineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17038705452206752521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9089616.post-1131994848555143952005-11-14T14:00:00.000-05:002005-11-14T14:00:00.000-05:00Thanks Anne.

I love the sound each word makes as it flows into the next, much like the sound water or a gentle wind makes. <BR/><BR/>I love the way the more personal ending relates back to the begining with "dry, dry, dry, say the trees"<BR/><BR/>Thank you.Heather O'Neillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16791710254475562860noreply@blogger.com
