Good Morning, Good Afternoon, Good Evening, wherever you are reading.

Welcome to the 53rd or last edition of the 2023 Richard Murray Newsletter.

1) The thirty-second of the Cento series. A cento is a poem made by an author from the lines of another author's work. In the series I place my cento and a link to the other authors poem.

CENTO Series episode 32

trying to look at things clearly

or lost in their own maze

Here is a poem , a stanza, from me, based on the scheme of another, do you know which? Not a cento but a shaping inspired by the art linked immediately after.

Leopard, Leopard, stalking stare,

From the mountains snowy glare,

What eternal tongue or mind,

Could design thy fractalic rind?
