Just discovered this thread.
Tim (or any other tri expert lurking) I have been fiddling with the short-liners for a little while, and I would love to know what I need to do with things like this. (Apart from the obvious, that is
North Wind
There is an awful ache
when north winds shake the blind
to end the winter's truce
with air-raid-wails of pine.
And hills are slapped like cheeks
that cannot turn away
but must endure the shame
of being turned that way.
And seas are lashed in salt
with wounds of wind's design
and life is such an ache
when north winds shake the blind.
