How could I not think of E. E. Cummings' grasshopper poem. You should probably find the poem in a book to see what he does with it. When I posted it on the BLOG, the formatting changed. I couldn't figure out how to paste it in as it appears in Cummings' original. Even reformatted it's a tour de force.
