poetry builds line by line
words letters syllables all count
some languages allow you
to read back and forth up and down
I remember reading a book
about Sanskrit poetry
you can have a compound word
a bit like those long dense
German words which you can
never quite understand
but in Sanskrit you can add
another layer because
you can break the words
in different places so the
long word means two
completely
different
things
that is called slesha
