Totally different and fun! The repetition made each word more meaningful (in my opinion). Really well done Chris! :)

Darren is pleasantly surprised :) And you also know very well how Darren loves repetition in poems. I love this Chris :) .... Sing Cry Lift Sigh, you'll always be one of my favoiurite poets, don't need to explain why, I can't surpass you, wouldn't even try, but you can turn me into one small smiling guy :)

It is some words mountain...lol! Have you uproariously heard The thunderous sound Of the mountain of words That came tumbling down to the ground Dispersing letters Arduously placing them back in romantic poems? (Just being silly)

Thanks Kim. I like that "Mountain of words" :) I did hear that rumbling but I didn't know what it was. Darn, now I have to clean up all of these words. :)
