The first three lines of this verse are the magicicada — additional letters are put in for effect. Perhaps you see a kite?

I see a kite, and think you have merged more than one kind of poem. Fine writing and extraordinary typing! The effect is magnificent.

You are in great form and perhaps a bit eccentric in the most delightful of ways.

This is advanced 'geniosity.' Maureen will love it, no doubt. Great one for the contest, Kim. :) gw
