"Poetry comes at things through particulars, by means of images, and it doesn't deal so easily with generalities. Its mode is to cherish without limit. You could say it is idolatrous art. Some poems, the great poems, are true to their specific situations deep down, but they also have a universal quality that lets them live again and again, even in apparently unrelated circumstances." -Galway Kinnell

Uphill downhill turn signals flash dappled green shade-- where are we going?
Dappled -- I fancy this word. I think the combination of consonants really strike my ear "pleasingly". I love the D's and the double P's b/c they link with the "uphill downhill" at the beginning of line 1. Very nice, Janet.
