at nightPoetic Wisdom,
big Words
in the Diary,
facing that
which she could not flee
with courage
and a glass of warm milk
It was still plenty dark
The next morning
. . . . . . . .
The OED word of the day for the erasure poem|commentary is 'owl.' I thought the entry was really short til I noticed it was the verb owl. The second of four definitions is to smuggle sheep or wool out of England. Go ahead and use it in a sentence.

Intending to knit a sweater for her mum, Annie owled her very dear Herdwick sheep's wool past security, thereby avoiding customs. (Barmy!))
well, now you've gone and done it: I don't know that I'll ever again be able to look at a herd of sheep with a straight face!
