    At the moment I am busy composing a cantiche of which five cantos are almost complete. The Spiritual instruction from the Bible is set in terza rima form. Three stanzas follow a strict rhyme pattern. Somewhat similar in spirit to Divine Comedy of Dante. Selected from todays output. I shall not be posting as regularly as I am used to. There are some 60+ cantos to compose. Each canto shall have some 45 stanzas

    Canto-5 The ministering angel informs man

    5: 33.

    How God descants over numbers fixed: /While number Three reserved for the Son/ Affirms in him the saints are ever blessed

    34.

    The Word transports the gospel from man's bone/To flesh the woman out for the Head/ The Number Twelve fore'er allied with Zion.

    35.

    The one rib from many becomes the Bride:/ While the earthy man is laid aside in lieu/ The Word made flesh is Last Adam indeed.

    36.

    The locus of saints made new, his view / Forever through the light of the Son,/ From heavenly places we serve you.
