Writing<\/span>


Crunch, crunch, crunch.<\/span>

The time has come for letters.<\/span>
        Two toed,<\/span>
                Three toed,<\/span>
                        Four toed,<\/span>
Letters.<\/span>


The time has come for words.<\/span>
        Two booted,<\/span>
                Four pawed,<\/span>
                        Six bird-clawed,<\/span>
Words.<\/span>


The time has come for sentences.<\/span>
        Crisscrossing,<\/span>
                Overlapping,<\/span>
                        Hunted,<\/span>
Sentences.<\/span>


Winter\u2019s fresh blank page chills the Earth<\/span>
So all may write and not be<\/span>
Forgotten when unseen.<\/span>

Crunch, crunch, crunch.<\/span>
