Colored Hats
Colored hats are necessary to show that curls are worn by an addition ofblank spaces, this makes the difference between single lines and broadstomachs, the least thing is lightening, the least thing means a littleflower and a big delay a big delay that makes more nurses than littlewomen really little women. So clean is a light that nearly all of itshows pearls and little ways. A large hat is tall and me and all custardwhole.

About this section
Colored Hats is prose, printed in 1 paragraph. It is part of the edition and is kept for reading, but nothing here is measured: the line breaks are the printer's, so no metre, rhyme scheme or scansion is stated.
The reader shows the same poem with its rhymes coloured and a stress row above each line, the notes beside their stanzas, and any word's definition on a tap; the analysis page takes the whole book apart. How every part of this site was made.
