    This one is troublesome. It's far from finished.
    ---------------------------------------

    Here is a shape:
    A circle crowded by miniature triangles who wheel,
    spin, softly buzz
    nip for silver blood from that circle?s edges, or

    a square. broken on one side
    crumbling with mathematical disease
    not cancer, not uncontrolled growth
    but trapezoids and smaller trapezoids falling, falling, or

    an arrow.
    bright and glowing salmon
    sailing this way or that
    seeming to sail that way because it points that way
    or rises
    or sails
    as faces, other circles, watch from below
    remarking on the grace of its chord
    perhaps you or I are down there
    reduced to simple sums of shapes
    as if for the study of art.

    Now see... This one I really enjoyed.
    Just the way it's all shapes... I dont know, i just really liked it smile
    If you do revise it, post it again. I'd love to see a finished product even though I think this versions darn good.

    <font color=#006699>I'm not sure if you have salmon in there as a color or the fish, but I took it as the fish, to possibly go along with its "sailing" but that doesnt' quite fit in with the geometry of all the rest of it.

    "a square. broken on one side
    crumbling with mathematical disease"
    I do absolutely love this line, however. For god's sakes and the rest of ours, keep that if you decide to revise & repost.

    I think that line's a keeper. I think there's a new stanza for this one, though. I'll stick it up here when it's farther along.
