Ablaut Reduplication, A Poem and Some Sheep

07 Apr

I follow Lynn Miclea, author,   and today she posted the following which pleased me greatly.

I have posted this poem by Mary Oliver before. It suits today too.

Don’t you just love these?

    Very interesting about the English language. Ilove those sheep, they actually look like you knitted them. 🙂 totally adorable and so fluffy.

      That’s exactly what I thought! We pick up these rules as toddlers and never realise. I love the name.
