Thanks, Tricia!
Been awhile since you gave me my very first "PL OK. "
Here are two more. Bradford shows up again with his telescope at more length. He is also in "New Hampshire" which I hope to edit tomorrow, or should I say later today. I had to take a break to shovel some snow, and it is still coming down. Quite a change from my time in Haiti last week.

Thanks! A couple little things that change the meaning:
Census-taker:
3:03 - "The place is desert" - you pronounced it like a sugary confection; it should be like a sandy wasteland.
Star-splitter:
1:18 - "I’ll have one if I sell my farm to buy it." I hear "if you sell my farm"
4:35 - "if splitting stars
’Sa thing to be compared.." I hear "splitting stars 'sa good thing.."

I'll fix these. I debated about the reading of "desert." There are two pronunciations, as a noun for an arid place, or as a verb as to leave a place or person alone, when it becomes a homophone to "dessert." I thought the emphasis here was on the fact that there was no one there rather than a description of geography. But, I think you are right, even though I would expect a preceding article. Ah, why we love this language, especially when poets get a hold of it.TriciaG wrote: ↑January 30th, 2019, 7:14 am Thanks! A couple little things that change the meaning:

And, I'll give "New Hampshire" and extra proof before I submit it.
Now, to shovel some New Hampshire snow, hoping there are no trees across the road . . . .

Whew, here is New Hampshire and the corrected files for Census Taker and Star Splitter:

New Hampshire was quite a challenge but also a lot of fun to read.
Most of the place names I know, except some of the more obscure ones that I think no longer exist. Frost's farm is still here, of course, but one would pass it by unnoticed, except for a small sign, so well does it blend in with the rest of the neighbors. I think some of the same attitudes poetically expressed still are a part of New Hampshire culture.
