Blast! This Howz-bouta is getting out of hand.
Ok, I'll drop my rock so everyone can continue with our ill-started Tanka with Musick's 5/7/5 needing sevens...
Pebble in the stream Lava flowing on the hill Our words change slowly
Frothing surf atop the waves The tide comes and the tide goes
Words are given thoughts which may melt old rocks and clog streams which feed the seas

Seven seas brim too slowly Attentuate too swiftly

What does it mean? What does it mean? You tell me what Plutarch's joining sevens meant, then I'll gladly tell you exactly to the ninth nuance, what my tanka meant. I told you more than once that we needed a woman to supply the connecting sevens; when men write it their egos get in the way and it doesn't make any sense. Listen, I made those three loosely related anagrams using three of Plutrachs words just to move the game along. So shoot me. Why don't you go out and find an extension of " Attentuate too swiftly.
