I popped back on to have another go at the poetry thing! Let's see how I get on.

"If the phone won't ring, make the call
If the mountain won't move, shift it
If the birds won't sing, sing to them all
And if the sun won't rise, lift it"

oh god, here I go!

A poem from Billy Collins:

Introduction to Poetry​

I ask them to take a poem
and hold it up to the light
like a color slide

or press an ear against its hive.

I say drop a mouse into a poem
and watch him probe his way out,

or walk inside the poem’s room
and feel the walls for a light switch.

I want them to waterski
across the surface of a poem
waving at the author’s name on the shore.

But all they want to do
is tie the poem to a chair with rope
and torture a confession out of it.

They begin beating it with a hose
to find out what it really means.

from The Apple that Astonished Paris (University of Arkansas Press, 1996)

Ankans läte är i flera språk någon form av ett kvack, med varierande stavning. Också det franska lätet som stavas coin coin uttalas med ett vokalljud som ligger väldigt nära ett a-ljud. Fågellätet däremot innehåller på alla språk ett i-ljud. På de flesta språken används någon form av pip, och på finska används även tsirp, på tyska tschiwitt och på franska cui cui. Bland fågelljuden är det engelskan som skiljer sig mest ur mängden med cheep, chirp och tweet, men även dessa läten innehåller ett i-ljud.
