Excellent words, this stems from, though only two appear.



Words, opinions

And we begin to draw up an inventory of all things excellent
in newspaper margins. It could be anything, really,

a collection like this, but we resort to making it up.
It turns out we can't decide what was true

and what was not. Suggestions fly.
There is always awry, or meticulous. Someone

thinks of the longest word but we do not write it down.
It is hard, when it comes to it, to think of things to say.

Thank you for the link, Sophie. I still check into your site about once a week. Well done for keeping going so long! I have set up a portfolio website at http://beckyhunter.co.uk with some writing on. Becky xx
