I am sorry to say that I failed to complete it. Not that I couldn't have done so, given time; I am quite certain that if I had had about two years I could have done it. The main structure of the poem, however, is here and I give it for what it is worth. Even as it is it strikes me as extraordinarily good. Here it is: Title ...................... Kowfat Verse One .........................., ............... modus operandi; .........................., .................., Negritos: ....................... P'shu. Verse Two ..................... Khalifate; ............. Dog Men of Darfur: ....................... T'chk. Excellent little thing, isn't it? All it needs is the rhymes. As far as it goes it has just exactly the ease and the sweep required. And if some one will tell me how Owen Seaman and those people get the rest of the ease and the sweep I'll be glad to put it in. |
