Notes About The Poem

Inspiration drawn from the first picture on Nette Onclaude's Four Lines contest.

Oriel Into

Receiving to give more in strength

Strength reaching upwards as columns

Columns support shelter above

Above is great Intelligence...'

I really like this one, Joe. And the way you take from the end of each line to build the next. A very cool poetry form!

If the foundation crumbles sometimes the mind will quickly follow. (But not always) I enjoyed your poem Joe.

I love the philosophy you espouse here... the last/first word repetition is most effective! Well done my friend!! Best wishes, Keith
