Perhaps one of Emily's puzzle poems... https://emily-dickinson-riddle.blogs...d-to-know.html but then other analyses like this one https://slowlander.com/2019/06/23/de...eased-to-know/ are more general. Enjoyed :)

re: Thanks for the links, tailor to the poem by Emily Dickinson. I think both links complete each other. I didnīt know the poem was inspired by the character Cordelia od King Lear. I found this old version of the play for TV by two giants: director Peter Brook and Orson Welles as King Lear:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cf-knQzfuM4

re: Sorry about yesterday. For the first time there was a virus in PC. PC was very slow which probably accounts for the many repetitions od the PM I sent you. Glad that you liked the poetry book.:)
re Dylan Thomas. The analyses were very helpful. I didnīt know that April was the cuckoo mount and that the bird is a symbol of the cycle of life and nature. I only feel they could have explored more the more sinister elements of the poem.
"Fast Speaking Woman, Part 1... " Enjoyed this minimalist poem that relies on repetition.
