This is another example of a FORM PIVOT POEM in which a

symmetrical figure is formed (in this case an Hour Glass) by

composing a Poem in the top shape (a bulb) and repeating it

in reverse order about a pivot word which is not repeated. In

this case it is the word \"fawn\" in the centre of the constriction.

It is important that the Poem makes sense read backward as

well as forward. There is no rhyme or syllabus pattern ~ OK !
