Note: This visual poetic form (inspired by the work of the conceptual artist Hamish Fulton's (b 
1946) landscape 'text-and-image' work 'a seven day walk in the mountains Switzerland early 
summer 1984'.
This poetic form has 5 words of 5 letters or 6 words of 6 letters (as above) or 7 words of 7 
letters & so on with a pastoral theme.I call this form a FULTON as a tribute to Hamish and his 
art.
