..............before saying anything...........
It is hard to put on Neo as a triangle, I use the spaces and run the first one to the middle then the rest to follow if I need form, that didn't work so I used full stops to do it as here, I did one with a pic of Parliament Hill building in the States but it became history quickly as some works do.
Take care, just another form to play with, Yours Ian.T

Ian
you needn't do the form in triangle. Just follow the 1,2, 3,4, 10 syllables in five lines. Easy.
Why don't you give it a shot.
Thanks for dropping by.

OK young one
I will have a go at it, very similar to Fibs.
Will do it later when time permits,
