The Shepherd

To go looking...

in the lines...

to find...

his kids...

and lambs...

he'd left behind...

up high...

where adjective...

abut design...

fond...

frisky little colon...

dot and comma...

play beside...

the parapet's...

divine parenthese'...

bells jingling...

ding donging...

from across...

the mountain...

towered mind...

the shepherd...

set his flock...

a scurrying...

from valley's pre...

to present...

tense with glee...

had not forgot...

soliloquy...

thus...

going on...

o're ramparts...

rife with edge...

rills racing...

from cathedral...

'spired caves...

the stream of poetry...

for there be...

grass aplenty where...

the shepherd rest...

to happ'ly watch...

his progeny...

each word...

of finely...

figured nuance...

is at right's...

and in it's place...

at last...
