Jill, for some probably only yours truly reason, I began to think of your
prosody as a kind of organized dis-assembling, that is seeing it asbecoming to
represent, or be the syntax for current upheavals Australian cartography!
Between cyclones and floods - presented to us frequently in TV in the USA - the
landscapes and towns are a visual cacophony of multiple breaches, collisions,
etc. It only fits that poetry - the words - as such wd follow, no??
Similary, One wonders what is happening to syntax through out the Mideast, too!
I like what you have done with your own.

Hi Doug,
Thanks. And the line spacing is a weird thing my email does sometimes when I
paste in from Word. It wasn't always thus, so not sure why. Because I agree with
yr thot and would also think the same if I saw lines with line space between.
Cheers,
Jill
