Reason for writing:
A little experiment of my own... Like in "wordthread" (though not nearly as good) two single "poems" that can be read as one. To spice up things a little, I tried to get one final verse by using one word out of each line in order... especially the latter turned out to be more difficult than I had imagined - like one of those cubes where you have to turn all 9 sides into the same color - one part fits and screws up all the others. So far, it's the "best" solution I could find - maybe you've got a better "solution"? Heck, I even had to cheat a little...
Anyone out there who'd like to team up with me to try a better thing than that one?
