Distraught,
my southern drawl lead me astray once more. Down here, the word "your" sounds just like "ewer" In fact, they're homonyms according to Websters'. We speak slowly and slur some words.

Hi Liz, nice to see the "Cinquain Queen" has returned.
First know the thread above uses the last two words to begin the Cinquain you add to it. Now to continue Daniel's line of thought... The piece that's added to this tangential thought line does not have to refer to the former. ······· ·······When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations.
