Truth becomes quite lovely all dressed up, Beth! I like the thought of poetry being this version of words! I also like the ones you chose, dream, crazy and behave, the stack is very interesting, with idea being in there, too.

Absolutely perfect timing, as this is Sunday, and today is Robert Burns’ birthday–one of the world’s greatest poets.
