The first of these caught my eye eye the most gary. There is a spello in L5
of S3 - 'clutchs'.
I felt the descriptors were less good in the following section: '>mother
charges,/>shotgun,>dogs howl and yelp as pellets find their mark,'
Otherwise enjoyed.
Cheers,

>a skinny boy,
>knees scrapped,
>check blue and raw,
>clutchs a half-starved pup,
>and listens to chickens scratch the muddy yard,
>cars come and go,
>cars abandoned,
>dogs corral a new-born calf,
>mother charges,
>shotgun,
>dogs howl and yelp as pellets find their mark,
>the bull tests fencing,
>sway-back horses in the far pasture crowd the back gate,
>slaps,
>curses,
>screen door slams,
>car starts,
>the heavy trod of boots,
>an ass settles into the porch rocker,
>bottles open,
>muffled sobs.
>
>Under porch and rocker,
>children sleep.
