Tim,

My books are in storage, and I have been able to find all but "There are roughly zones" from the net and am enjoying working through them.

I did not see the discussion over at Mastery, however:

"A goose in the yard yearns for a barn,
and the penned bird, to go free.
(Now this, I would have written as:
the bird in the pen to go free)
The returning salmon yearns for the tarn
(and this as:
The salmon who returns yearns for the tarn)
from which its fry will flee.
(and this as:
as its fry will yearn for the sea)

Is this the right track?

Regards,

Jax
