Scare“The rules of ‘scare’…”Still unrhyming enjambement, yet simpler words than in ‘Marbles’, again powerfully conveying the nostalgic days of my youth, with one of those benighted children’s games that, I now feel, grew up almost autonomously like skipping rhymes and onion songs that kids knew not whence they came but they knew them anyway.
[Yesterday, fortuitously, in my review of 'Onion Songs' I did 'shuffle' the letters in "Rasnic Tem" into 'Met in Scare'.]
