thanks for the comments, Douglas... yes, the first few lines... i started going in one direction and then snapped in a different direction altogether... isn't it often that something leads us to a poem which is really not, in the end, part of the poem? interrupted the snap to feed the little man and lost my original snap of thought... in keeping with my usual snap, i include the word snap in the poem... a snap, as my wordy offspring, a poem, is so much like a baby... three or four reasons there... do they fly? -- Bob Marcacci Take long walks in stormy weather or through deep snows in the fields and woods, if you would keep your spirits up.
