List. Does a poem list?

As in tilt? Or is it ramrod straight? Another thing to consider, are most poems word-lists.


Recipes are lists to be followed, manipulated, or ignored. A good meal lists into good words. Call it conversation.

  1. Integral to the equation may be all factors inside and outside the ruddy bouquet. No indication of stopping or starting falls out of the carriage.

    Henchmen pretend to hamper the progress of an ill-fated journey, only to fall back, slowly and slyly checking hemlines and full baskets
    as if a well-wrapped sandwich were the start of something new.

    Indeed by the ancient mountaintop, a flag planted sturdy on its pole spoke of rough weather, figedty children, blasts of new air flying down.

    Then we walked as if blind by the seaside resorts, you commenting on the charcoal burning brightly, not yet ready for fish and potatoes, hopeful of its mission, seeking its own end.
