I would weave words wistfully with windingVines that verify veracities and view vistas worth Finding, freely flying, far-flung, fear-free and fineBeyond basic borders binding bodies below.

I think the Marigold one is my favorite. It is very clever. I like playing with assonance and alliteration too, but I\'ve not dedicated a whole piece or collection to the idea, you make me want to. The way you wrote the last one Moss made it look like the fairies sneaked in to your computer after you were done with the rest of them and typed it in themselves. Tee hee that was brilliant!!

You are tackling a technique near and dear to my hear, and you have done it masterfully. There are some very clever lines in this collection as well. My personal favorite is:If every blade of grass were a miniature spear what a war the world would wage against us!
My only advice would be that these devices and techniques are often at their best when employed with subtly. However, such advice would be moot in this piece when the very point is extravagance with the employment of the technique. So bravo! I enjoyed this collection a great deal. Also, the implication of movement implied by the forms in your garden collection added an extra layer of effectiveness that heightened the overall effect.
