This is a brilliant visual, Francis. The dove always keeps its cool, like the water snake.
Funny, I am writing a poem with the word "krut" (English: "gun powder") in it at the moment. The snappiness of "krut" is lost in translation. But the "pow" in "powder" kinda compensates for it.
@Jenny I think we poets affect each others brain waves :). I really would like to hear your Swedish poems read aloud, as my knowledge of the language isn't very good.
