We had an hour of a good blue sky today.<br /><br />The Friday that this poem first showed itself was the worst of the wet. I was very glad of the moment represented here.<br /><br />With this series in particular, I've been some way conscious of keeping the language plain and direct, and whatever strange verbal turns there are show up better for that, I hope.Mose23https://www.blogger.com/profile/01100756913131511440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2379098365260485853.post-76197244197445790122012-07-14T19:23:03.347+01:002012-07-14T19:23:03.347+01:00Another carefully crafted observation.
