Ok, now let's get down to it.

Here at SQUARE WORDS, I intend to present you with lots of wordy stuff.

Now, the format already necessitates the ol' lexis.
You can't have a Blog without words.
But I can go further than that. Deviation from prose is where it's at - and to get us started, here is some verse.

What's the difference between PROSE and VERSE, I hear you scream;

Well: PROSE is like this. What you're reading. But VERSE is like a poem. It has a capital letter at the beginning of each line.

Consider me invaluable to your brain.

Now, here is my original offering to you. It is inspired by the very current affair of that Golf thing on the TV right now. One of the blokes, Greg someone, looks just like Paul Hogan, star of Crocodile Dundee (coincidentally, the sequel, the aptly named 'Crocodile Dundee 2' is showing on E4 RIGHT NOW).

Anyway, while I was passively watching 'the Golf', I was struck by a bolt of inspiration. Enjoy.

"The Golf Music"

The golf music off the telly
Always propells me,
Toward a silent reverie.

Its plinky-plonky easy listening,
And Out-of-focus shots
Of leaves glistening,
Lead my eye
Out of the window
Into the sky.
