Hi Rod,
Thanks for the lesson! I think I got it. So the restriction only carries
to the following line and then you start over fresh right? Not to the
rest of the poem right? and when you say not *followed* by as in next
(in order) you find a word that has an E, but not followed by a P:

Thanks Allan!
I really enjoyed making that work and the way of gathering the lines of
text - one line from each document of the search results for the spinal
phrase give a bit more structure than my regular way of constructing
poems which are more haphazard. If I add the other restriction of
Sure, no prob. These thing are sometimes easier to present in person.
Remember these are the two kinds:

Hi Cecil,
The first word Reparation can't be used because it already contains
your next letter E (rEparation). You can't have any words that

Also, I will say too that it's sometimes difficult to line up all of
