Thanks, Elise. That ‘circle of French cheese’ is actually just part of that ‘word cloud’ I used to decorate this poem. It contains all the words used in the poem.
I just edited this to put a frame around the word cloud so that it does not look like a confusing part of the poem. :-)
Alan, what a beautiful poem—words and the way it is printed. I really like the added visuals you have recently included. I think of France as paradise. Sjl

I love this, beautifully evocative. (Though I must admit I’m not sure about the circle of French cheese above the body of the poem.)

Ah, well, in that case I love it! I thought it was part of the poem that I didn’t understand at all, silly me!

Many thanks! In many ways it is.
