Over the quietest waves

(A small confession: I choose my words carefully, based on how they look on the page. So even if I'm dying to use a word, if it doesn't look "pretty enough" when it's written out, I won't use it. Weird habit. Is this just me? Or is it you, too?)

Interesting. Nope, I don't do that.
The lines about hiding the cold and letting it out sound like they're about breathing.
Wow. Wow. Poetry is awesome, but I could never write it like that! I loved it!
Oh, and it's not just you about the 'words looking pretty on the page' thing.
And then I hid words
in the clouds and let them rain down
into poems" - I LOVE THIS!!!
and oh, i'm with you. its all about the layout and how the words "look" together for me.
I'm with Odessa, the idea of hiding words in clouds is just wonderful...
Yes in poetry the way words look on the page is important ...
