The Constraint in Splinters
The text was composed as a right triangle with "wood" repeated down the hypotenuse:
W
ho
seo
ldEd
enunw
....
This may be kind of an acrostic variant of the snowball, though in a snowball words are not usually broken across lines and the original structure is preserved.
I love having some word secretly threaded through the text like this.

Ron: this is interesting, but I'm not sure I get it. "Who Sold Eden?"
Uh, the folks who "paved Paradise, put up a parking lot"?
"Whose old Eden unwrites our sorrows?" etc. in the post below.
This is a new (third) part to a piece I've brought to group before. The first two parts use the "edge" constraint and semantic definition respectively. The three constraints are the same used in another piece, "Glass" that I think I also workshopped.
